I first read that as "sheep medication" and... wasn't even that surprised.

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!

The fat neck of justice
He should also include job deprivation. This fucker is the reason we don't trust cops.
Mmmkk Rosanne. Then you shouldn't be a cop
Oh man, the Rosanne Barr defense. Crazy you'd pick that when a lady richer than you tried it and failed.
It'd be nice if someone in his position could get a prison sentence for something like this.
i'd be lying if i said i never did some cringe af drunk-posting, but the difference is people's lives don't depend on me
breaking - Springfield Sheriff Admits to Irresponsible Behavior on Drugs
Blames stress from Haitians eating his chihuahua.
Dude is from Springfield, Ohio. His life has been actively made worse by Trump and his supporters constantly tormenting his town, calling in bomb threats, showing up and harassing people, etc. And he is STILL licking the boot and hating on Dems for no f**king reason. This cop, at the very least, is certainly a bastard, and a stupid one at that.
Take away this man's service weapon. He can't protect anybody and is a danger to his community.
“ I didn’t obviously terrible thing, but I refuse to take any responsibility for it. Sorry, not sorry”
"I'm sorry that my sleep medicine accidentally made my mask fall off"
Mmmhmm, the old Roseanne excuse. Didn't stop her getting fired.
Hes a long term buddy of the chief deputy, so that did it for him. The chief said he's known him for 40 years and doesn't think this outburst will impact his policing.
So instead of getting reprimanded in any real sense or getting fired, he got a strongly worded letter and had to make a public apology that let him blame it all on Ambien.
Too drug addled to be responsible for his choices?
Taking drugs that impacts judgement and results in irrational actions sounds like a good reason to not be allowed access to firearms, much less placed in a position of power or authority.
sHaLL NoT bE InFrinGeD!!!
Oh, you're on a sleep medication that interferes with your capacity for self-control? Sounds like you shouldn't be in a high-stress job with lots of responsibility and power.
If someone in my company has a meltdown, we remove access and privileges. They're a liability and we don't need someone to flip out and take down some critical system.
This guy has guns and in America, police are consistently protected from consequences.
This guy is absolutely going to murder somebody in cold blood. Mark my words.
Definitely should not control deadly weapons nor the justice process
Somehow makes it worse, I don't know why I say somehow, these guys are the master of "look at how deep I can dig this hole without any ramifications"
