1. THIS bullshit will be a mess

To clean up!

[LizBeth]

2. And another to line us up and shoot us in the head. DON'T tell me they are not my enemy.

4. He seems nice.

[MagickMuffin]

6. God doesn't want him

God rejects this pos.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

5. Super strict punishment.

Stay home with pay until this is buried under a mound of similar or worse RW thuggery. Then, Welcome back!

[ProfessorGAC]

7. Take Off The Uniform

Leave the gun in the house.
Now, let's talk, Taft.
"You were going to do what again?"
Punk ass, fake tough guy. A coward with a badge.

11. Yup.

I’ll dance.

8. Is *this* guy his partner???

Alabama police officer on Biden voters: ‘Put a bullet in their skull for treason’

he's been placed on leave

13. That headline is misleading.

The "officer" in Alabama is a CAPTAIN. So he's a supervisor, and he's probably encouraging his subordinates to think and act this way.

9. I don't think that was Jesus's preferred method to help people "find God".

Nevertheless, chances are he'll be hailed in his church as a persecuted hero of the faith.

10. Leave my ass. He needs to go in for a 5150 and long-term counseling with a psychologist.

[phylny]

12. Imagine living inside that rage.

Reform and Repair the police.

14. But it's only "a few bad apples," right?

15. Yeppers, that's my neighborhood.

We're about 15 minutes north of Platteville, have many friends there and in surrounding areas. Glad they busted him, but sad to say his attitude isn't rare for this part of the state. Local Republicans do tend to hold a very entitled view of themselves, and getting Democrats elected to councils and boards is difficult and rare. This was farm and ranch country before it became oil/gas country, we're well acquainted with the scent of bovine excrement; it has been said that a desiccated cowpie could get elected as long as it had an "R" appended to it. I'm surprised only that he voiced thoughts that others share but keep to themselves.
