Cop said Nancy Pelosi should be targeted by a 'roadside bomb' for tearing up Trump's speech.

Of course he's from Alabama and of course, he's one of those Trump's election was prophecy nitwits.

Source: RawStory.com

An Alabama cop is apologizing for a Facebook post where he said that House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) could be targeted with a roadside bomb for daring to tear up President Trump’s State of the Union speech, the Daily Mail reports.

“Pelosi just ripped up his [speech],” Geraldine police department assistant chief Jeff Buckles wrote. “Road Side bomb on her way home and any other Dumbocrats.”

Buckles later removed the post and apologized for “venting.” “I have definitely offended some people with my remarks,” he wrote. “It just rips my heart out that our great country is so divided.”

Buckles has a history of posting pro-Trump rhetoric to Facebook. In a post from February 4, he wrote, “I honestly believe that God has placed Donald Trump in the position to bring about prophecy. God Bless Trump. God Bless America.”

The article concludes by saying the town mayor and police chief were going to meet today with the town's attorney to decide the best course of discipline for Buckles.

Less vile. What I don’t understand is Trump tears up a speech metaphorically 10 times a day and they can’t see that?

He needs to be terminated, and check his arrests for excess force.

Cops with guns, can’t be this dumb. I know no one wants this job anymore, but we need quality people. Recruit outside of Alabama, might help.

He talks about being pained by the country being divided, but he advocates blowing his political opponents up.

How can a LEO not realize that Multiple Agents protect her and along with harming the second in line to the Presidency, he would be doing great harm to her protection team.

Asshole.
