Not fired.
Written reprimand only.
I give up.

Back the thin blue line, folks. These guys are heroes.
Lt. Rodgers will work especially hard to regain the public’s trust.
So that's good to know. 😒

A new spin on the Ambien Defense.
It is also suggested that a possible medical issue is involved in Rodgers’ actions.
WHIO obtained an investigative file and discovered in an inter-office communication with supervisors that Rodgers wrote, “I do not remember writing these posts or deleting any posts.”
The file also indicates that Rodgers is prescribed sleeping medication, which Rodgers documented, “It does cause some of my communication to be ‘out of character’ which is a documented side effect.”

Ah. The party of personal responsibility.
We need a national database for teachers and law enforcement officers - if you’ve been disciplined your name goes in there. Then if you move cross country your potential new employers can look you up.
I dgaf what unions might have to say about it.

The campaign ads with law enforcement officers advocating for candidates needs to stop. Laws need to be enacted to prevent this.
He seems like an old crusty bastard who needs to retire. You don't talk politics in this profession on duty and you certainly don't withhold aid because they don't meet your political opinion. If I didn't render aid to people I disagree with I wouldn't be helping many people. He needs to retire or be fired. How could you ever trust him again?
I agree with this
Not sure I agree with this. Doctors can appear in campaign ads. Soldiers can appear in campaign ads.
Stupidity like what this guy demostrated needs to be held accountable, but I don’t see why law enforcement officers should be prohibited from appearing in campaign ads.
Because they risk alienating/causing distrust with upwards of half of the people they provide public safety services to. You can choose another doctor, you can't choose another cop.
This isn't even a close call in my opinion.
It may be legal in Iowa but it's really dumb.
Check out @McLovin32 's what are you making this weekend thread.I clicked to get an update on dog and cat recipes.
Leaving disappointed.
A good video on Iowa sheriffs. Legal, but dumb.
Iowa professors: sheriffs in political ads don’t violate rules
Three local sheriffs are featured in campaign ads for Iowa politicians running for Congress.
I could be mistaken but I’m fairly certain military personnel can appear in ads as long as they’re not in uniform and the ad includes a disclaimer that the Department of Defense does not endorse the candidate.
For a complete list of permissible and prohibited activities, please consult DoD Directive 1344.10, Political Activities by Members of the Armed Forces Guidance for Military Personnel.
My problem with people that talk like that is they are too eager for Armageddon to arrive.
