Alabama police captain said Biden voters deserve "a bullet in their skull"

FLOMATON, Al. (WKRG) — A Flomaton police captain is defending himself after social media posts that called to “put a bullet in their skull” in response to political posts on Facebook. Captain Scott Walden says he was referring to people who commit treason, not “liberal democrats.” In the original post, Walden commented on a post from another person who said that people who voted for Biden were idiots who voted to “throw the country away.” In his comment he wrote, “they need to line up ev1 of them and put a bullet in their skull for treason.”

In a separate post on his personal page Walden said he was not calling for violence against “liberal democrats,” but punishment for traitors:

“Well apparently someone, and I know who you are as well as the others jumping on the “ gonna get them fired “ train is circulating a comment I made about TREASON. The comment even says TREASON but someone has run rampant saying I was meaning liberal n Democrats. Well #1 I don’t care who you vote for, #2 the comment was about treason and what should happen to the ones who are charged for committing treason . So either you trying to stir the pot or you are ok with someone committing treason but not ok with someone who says they should be shot. This is the world we live in.”

that he was in a "shithole country." It is on the state line with the Florida panhandle.

That area of AL and the Florida panhandle is as racist as Gov. Wallace times Jim Crow laws.

10. That is stupid. No one is being called for treason. And certainly not enough to line them up.

He stated anyone voting for Biden, and per the sentence he was calling Biden voters treasons, for simply voting for Biden.

17. There is no judging. They only need to be accused of treason.

I applied for a job at our county jail. In the in home stage of the interview the captain talking to me referred to inmates as the"enemy and he would kill them all" if he could. I thought he was just blustering since I look like a stereo typical giant pos racist red neck. I found out out that 75 percent of inmates were in for failure to appear, 15% were unable to pay fines. Most of the violent crimes were assault on an officer during resisting arrest and a smattering of domestic violence, surprisingly pretty close close between male and female defendants.
The non violent drug offenders are included in the first two categories . once I saw how it was, I returned to my old job. State benefits be damned. I will not work in a debtors prison.
