Louisiana police chief is "not going to take this lightly" (cop posts AOC threat on Facebook)

[Miles Archer]

“A Gretna police officer posted a comment on his Facebook page this past week calling U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a ‘vile idiot’ who ‘needs a round, and I don’t mean the kind she used to serve,'” NOLA reported Saturday.

“The comment, which alludes to the freshman Democrat’s past work as a New York City bartender while apparently saying she should be shot, comes amid increasing scrutiny of racist and violent social media posts by police officers in departments across the country,” NOLA added.

“I’m not going to take this lightly and this will be dealt with on our end,” Chief Arthur Lawson said. “It’s not something we want someone that’s affiliated with our department to make these types of statements. That’s not going to happen.”

“Whether you agree or disagree with the message of these elected officials and how frustrated you may or may not get, this certainly is not the type of thing that a public servant should be posting,” Chief Lawson said.

4. Fake News (on the soldiers quote)

AOC: "We pay soldiers too much"

I knew it was a quote taken out of context or something like that, BUT it was not. I twas totally fabricated. Made up. Police officer Charlie Rispoli got punked.

"As of July 2019, Ocasio-Cortez has never said this, either in a session of Congress or in any other forum. The source of the fabricated article, Taters Gonna Tate, is part of a network of sites and social media accounts operated by Christopher Blair, who produces a high volume of junk news and misinformation, much of it inflammatory, which he presents as “satire.

2. Did you see how she womanhandled the DHS guy?

He kept repeating the stupid tired "we're looking into it" line, and she kept drilling down on him-- I am reluctantly impressed by her everytime. (Reluctantly because I don't like showboating, but you know, she does it for the right causes.)

Anyway, I'd back her against any rural cop-- she defeated a cabinet appointee.

5. this man should not be a police officer

he's advocating assassination for a public official, and is so stupid he posts obviously fake news to justify his anger

6. Why is he not fired and where is the secret service?

[ProudLib72]

7. There needs to be a firing

and I don't mean the kind where he loses his job.

What a fucking piece of shit. What does it mean they won't take this lightly? He needs to be locked the fuck up because he made a threat against a congressperson! I don't give a flying fuck if he is a has been cop.
