Lt. John Rodgers, a 20-year sheriff’s veteran in Clark County, where Springfield is the county seat, made the statements in several posts on Facebook, WHIO-TV reported. In one post, he reportedly wrote: “I am sorry. If you support the Democrat Party I will not help you.” Another said: “The problem is that I know which of you supports the Democratic Party and I will not help you survive the end of days.”
The sheriff’s office said Rodgers, who has commanded the department’s road patrol, would remain on duty, with a written reprimand for violating the department’s social media policy.
The only extent to which medication or intoxication can excuse saying something heinous is reducing the filters that prevent you from saying something that you believe is true but is uncouth. It doesn’t excuse you having those opinions in the first place. Try again.
I think in general that’s true, but man, taking something like Ambien and not actually going to sleep really messes you up lol I’ve only seen it happen to someone once, but it was scary AF
I guess I did just generalize biochemical processes that are anything but simple so a very fair point
Exactly. Getting drunk and arguing past the point you’d walk away sober? Happens. Zonked out on sleeping pills and tell your in laws that they really fucked up your spouse and that you have some resentment towards them for it? This will have consequences but there’s some sympathy there because it’s something you’re allowed to feel and foster, but not something you’re supposed to say. But this isn’t something a cop should be thinking, much less expressing
