According to the news source, some of the posts stated, “I am sorry. If you support the Democratic Party, I will not help you” and “The problem is that I know which of you supports the Democratic Party, and I will not help you survive the end of days.”
In another post, according to WHIO, Rodgers wrote that people would need to “provide proof of who you voted for” before rendering aid.
He takes thumbnail to another level.
Why do these people all look the same?
Sheriff should absolutely not be elected.
This is why.
Do you vote for lieutenants as well?
No, but it is easier to shield shit like this if the position is elected, vs just having to comply with policy as a general employee
After your implying that what was a suitable system for an 1850s border town is somehow not ideal for a city in the 21st century? What kind of far left radical are you?
Sounds like an endorsement to take the law into your own hands and shoot the marauders yourself
Sheriff is an elected position so nobody should be shocked that a bastard cop would go there
And nothing will be done about this literally fascist. Please send help America in trouble and us leftist need to get arned.
ACAB
Fire him. Anything less is unacceptable.
Come now, he was given a written reprimand, isn’t that enough?
He got a write up because his meds cause out of character behavior
If it’s exhibiting as bigotry based on politics he’s unfit because of how the drugs affect him at a minimum and needs to resign or be given his little retirement
Wtf? What kind of drugs may include extreme partisanship as a side effect?
Well, it’s not Ambian. They’ve already made it well known that Ambian does not cause racism as a side effect.
Republican koolaid
They mentioned it in the article that a documented side effect is out-of-character actions or remarks.
I didn’t catch the drug itself but it does NOT say anything about memory loss and he’s claiming not to recall making or deleting any posts.
He probably drinks mightily too. That’ll do it.
Maybe alcohol is the ‘medcation’
*out of a cannon
Into deep space.
(Because he’s not worth the dV to launch into the sun.)
He sure has been happy taking money from the government throughout the Biden administration though
Daily reminder police in USA don’t have to do anything to protect people
https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/law-and-life/do-the-police-have-an-obligation-to-protect-you/
The answer is no.
In the 1981 case Warren v. District of Columbia, the D.C. Court of Appeals held that police have a general “public duty,” but that “no specific legal duty exists” unless there is a special relationship between an officer and an individual, such as a person in custody.
The U.S. Supreme Court has also ruled that police have no specific obligation to protect. In its 1989 decision in DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services, the justices ruled that a social services department had no duty to protect a young boy from his abusive father. In 2005’sCastle Rock v. Gonzales, a woman sued the police for failing to protect her from her husband after he violated a restraining order and abducted and killed their three children. Justices said the police had no such duty.
Most recently, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit upheld a lower court ruling that police could not be held liable for failing to protect students in the 2018 shooting that claimed 17 lives at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
I’m starting to think we might have a law enforcement problem in the US.
“To serve and protect” the taste of boot
Cops never helping anyone to begin with aside…
They always help the wealthy, unless the harm was against another wealthy person and then it comes down to connections.
I will not help you survive the end of days
Prepper failing to understand that his dumbass bravado is gonna lead to him getting clapped by some 12 year old’s pressure cooker <72 hours into any sort of apocalyptic event
Are you suggesting 12 year olds are going to be using pressure cooker bombs to fight cops within 72 hours of any sort of apocalyptic event?
Does Gen Alpha really go that hard?
If it’s truly the end of days everyone is gonna learn to trust absolutely no random person whatsoever within like 12 hours and it’s gonna turn into battle royale hide and seek, not Fallout. These guys are preparing for something that just won’t happen
If it’s truly the end of days everyone is gonna learn to trust absolutely no random person whatsoever within like 12 hours
If other disasters and breakdowns of social order are anything to go by, not really. Communities tend to band together in those cases.
Murdering your neighbors to eat what’s in their fridges: Extremely high risk, best possible outcome is a few days of food.
Working with your neighbors to establish mutual defense, food production, healthcare, etc: Lower risk than anything else, possibility to replicate most of those things society had been providing.
Although there’s definitely a cultural aspect, Hurricane Katrina had a wealthy gated community with dudes driving around in pickups murdering any “looters” from flooded areas and police ambushed and murdered a family walking by the Danziger Bridge. Even in those cases though, this was organized violence as opposed to a free-for-all.
None of that is end of days. I live 10 blocks from George Floyd Square and that wasn’t end of days, but still, they looted the 5th precinct armory and people were dressed up as police as a gag, sideshows at Lake and Nicollet with postal vans and cop cars.
Couple thousand people going crazy and independently shooting up random places election night to try to stop the entire election, that’s still not end of days but getting closer. Couple notches past that everyone is gonna lose their fucking minds
The community coming together to burn the police station after the police murdered someone in broad daylight and wasn’t brought to justice isn’t exactly the chaotic scene you’re suggesting.
I pointed out that that wasn’t end of days. Katrina wasn’t end of days. End of days is end of days. Dunno how that’s hard for you to comprehend.
But hey, we all find out what ‘preparing for the storm’ means on Tuesday night, why law enforcement is concerned, and why MAGA law enforcement keeps suggesting something big and bad might happen. Why’s he suggesting an end of days? Dunno but the lunatics can all basically sync their watches and speak in code. Hopefully nothing
So when there isn’t a civil war and total chaos come Tuesday, you’ll reevaluate your position?
sounds like someone needs a psych eval before they get their badge back.
“end of days” doesn’t ring through as a person with their full mental faculties at their disposal.
The “end of days”? So sick of these deranged religious fanatics.
The end of days for Trump’s political career hopefully
Police telling Democrats they won’t help them in case of Emergency is PROOF that DEMOCRATS need to TONE DOWN Their Rhetoric!
Sounds like non-Republicans need to start forming their own armed networks to protect each other if existing “Law Enforcement” refuses to.
I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety.
Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.
