Springfield Ohio Sheriff’s Lieutenant Says He Won’t Protect Dems
John Rodgers, a 20-year veteran of the Clark County Sheriff’s Office, made the shocking remarks on social media.
According to WHIO, who obtained an “investigative file” and communications within the office, Rodgers said he was prescribed sleep aids and that his ‘out of character’ actions were a “documented side effect.”
Ah, the classic Roseanne defense. Most people don't start spewing hate under the influence of medication if they don't normally use that kind of language when they're sober.
Alcohol doesn't change people, it just makes it easier to bring their true selves to the front.
People that say this either don’t understand alcohol or haven’t been around it much.
Edit: I cannot believe that people need clarification of this is 2024. Alcohol modifies someone’s personality through its effects. If you’ve ever heard of a happy or angry drunk, that’s why. It can cause mood swings in people, increased aggression, and at the same time makes them act irrationally. That isn’t the “real person” underneath. The part of you that alcohol takes away is part of you.
And when you take away the ability to reason and make good decisions, you say all sorts of stupid things you don’t mean. That isn’t the real you. A drunk person will mostly just be telling you their impulsive subconscious thoughts that they aren’t in control of at all. That’s not a real person at that point.
What a load of nonsense, haha.
Oh dear, things I learn on the Internet...
I'm only a racist when I'm sleepy.
It's a case of Medicated Angry Geriatric Asshole.
Fire this fool and make an example of him. Dude is the reason we don't trust the police.
He should at the bottom of the ladder acting like this.
The department told the outlet that they apologize for his behavior and that Rodgers has received “received a written reprimand for a violation of the department’s social media policy and will remain on duty.”
Oh, he got a reprimand. Well that should take care of everything. I'm sure he's learned a valuable lesson. Public trust restored.
Joke's on him, I don't ever expect cops to protect anyone. Just property.
God damn, I feel so much shame for the way the Haitians there are treated. They first had to deal with a former president turning them into dog eaters and now have a police department that seems ready to watch them die. The only union that needs busting in this country is the police one.
Wow, he is basically dog whistling that it’s okay to attack dems. I’m tired of all this stochastic terrorism.
seems like a regular whistle to me
Police don’t have to protect anyone. They are just a bunch of pigs on power trips.
Give up being a sheriff then.
Would it be appropriate to send in the national guard, or perhaps federal agents temporarily? This would be terrifying to an average citizen I'd imagine.
Would it be appropriate to send in the national guard
Sending in the National Guard in Ohio always works out well!
So well in fact, someone should write a song about it!!
At this point, restarting the Manhattan project in Springfield Ohio probably wouldn't be enough.
Ohio was the inspiration for the Ohio-class submarine, which has the terrifying ability to turn any location on the planet into Ohio in less than 30 minutes
Well then, I guess the Dems won't pay your salary, fuckface.
Ok, so make sure to send all their addresses to knows criminals and gang members...only fair since they're perfectly fine voting for a convicted felon
What a total asshole, but it's not as if his kind of thinking is unique among the radical extremists that call themselves Republicans.
