What a total asshole, but it's not as if his kind of thinking is unique among the radical extremists that call themselves Republicans.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Well then, I guess the Dems won't pay your salary, fuckface.
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
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
Police don’t have to protect anyone. They are just a bunch of pigs on power trips.
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.
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 end of days" part of his quote tells you everything you need to know about this bastard. He thinks he's going to heaven soon, and if you disagree with him, you're not. If course even if there was a heaven, which there's no evidence for and I didn't believe in, he's sure as fuck not going there with his attitude. These idiot "Christians" have never even read their own handbook.
This guy should be stripped of his rank and position and investigated for criminal malfeasance, dereliction of duty, and threatening the public. On top of the lawsuits that should be piling on top of him if he follows through on this threat.
From what I’ve seen over the years and in the lead-up to the election - and frankly, what specifically concerns me about this election - is that there are going to be a LOT of trumpians in a LOT of local and state law enforcement and electoral positions who knowingly and willingly violate all sorts of laws with the interest of interfering in the electoral process at any and all levels to push things towards Trump.
He’s more or less promised to pardon the lot of them. Which, technically, would be within his power if he weasels into office. They’re they’re not only cognizant of their own guilt, but also motivated to follow through on whatever they’re planning, because they know they’re probably already in some very murky legal waters, and for them, the only way “out” is through a Trump win and a (hypothetical, though I expect ultimately vaporware) blanket pardon because they “helped Trump win”.
This is why Trump “loves the uneducated”: they’re statistically easier to scam.
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.
I'm sure he'll regret it for as long as he's collecting his 150k a year pension.
Yeah, but at leat he doesn't get a vacation for being a Bad Boy ^TM^
I won’t be satisfied with anything less than a full disadulation
He hasn’t even done a “This isn’t who I am” yet!
Oh but he has!
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.
This dude thinks EVERYONE is thinking what he’s thinking and we just don’t say it out loud. He thinks ANY of us are one drunk post away from spewing the same garbage. In his mind he’s just guilty of posting under the influence because of that.
It's a case of Medicated Angry Geriatric Asshole.
Alcohol doesn't change people, it just makes it easier to bring their true selves to the front.
I'm only a racist when I'm sleepy.
Give up being a sheriff then.
Joke's on him, I don't ever expect cops to protect anyone. Just property.
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.
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
It reads like an Onion article. Bravo!
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!!
