Pike Bay Police Chief Zem Hemsworth has either outright deleted his Facebook profile or put it on total lockdown after drawing criticism for an over-the-top insult he directed toward a pro-choice woman.
In a comment thread about a pro-Second Amendment photo, of all things, Hemsworth called the woman a "piece of shit scum sucking baby killing bitch" and a "filthy swanky slut." He was apparently irate because she had the audacity to say: "Women have the right to chose what guns we want just like a man and we also have the right to choose if we want/need an abortion via Roe vs Wade. I assume that was the double meaning to this post."
Hemsworth deleted his comment, but not before a screengrab of his outrageous insult was captured by a mysterious Facebook user who goes by the name "Rancid Butter."
Here's the back-and-forth, including Hemsworth's "swanky slut" comment, which we had to crop in since it has been deleted on the original thread:

------------------------------------
I URGE you to contact Police Chief Hemsworth directly at his office number, 1-218-556-0821. A sample message to leave:
"Hello Chief Hemsworth, my name is _____ and I am calling from _____ regarding your recent facebook post about women's rights. I have found your message disgusting and remind you that a woman's body is her own. You are strongly advised to give a public apology and retract your statement, and would recommend that you step down from your position. The entire nation is watching with disgust, please do the right thing."
It is not the place of law enforcement to create the laws, but to uphold the rights of the people. This man is incapable of that.
Edit: The number for the township itself is 218-335-2071, should you desire to leave a message there as well/alternatively.

(1,363 posts)I'm not very sure what goes above police chief honestly. The location is Pike Bay Township in MN, and the number for the township itself is 218-335-2071. I have been unable to find information for a Mayor however.

(1,363 posts)Thank you for taking part. This man is absolutely not someone who should be in a position of power. I shudder at the thought of being a rape victim in his county if this is how he views women.
