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

    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.

    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.

      Alcohol doesn’t change people, it just makes it easier to bring their true selves to the front.

        People that say this either don’t understand alcohol or haven’t been around it much.

        Edit: I cannot believe that people need clarification of this is 2024. Alcohol modifies someone’s personality through its effects. If you’ve ever heard of a happy or angry drunk, that’s why. It can cause mood swings in people, increased aggression, and at the same time makes them act irrationally. That isn’t the “real person” underneath. The part of you that alcohol takes away is part of you.

        And when you take away the ability to reason and make good decisions, you say all sorts of stupid things you don’t mean. That isn’t the real you. A drunk person will mostly just be telling you their impulsive subconscious thoughts that they aren’t in control of at all. That’s not a real person at that point.

            Yeah I was going to say the same thing, I used to drink a lot and I never did anything drunk that I didn’t want to do sober. The drinking just impairs judgement and how much you care about consequences in the moment.

            And that’s exactly what makes it not the “real you”. Read my edit but someone without inhibitions isn’t telling you who they are, they’re telling you who they choose not to be using inhibitions.

            Yeah, I took some drugs and they amplified who I really am 🤣

            I had bad things happen during past few days, they just amplified my real me.

            I mean, it is really well understood that chemical reactions in human body just amplify our real personality and do not affect anything else, right? Haha, Lemmy can be really comedic sometimes…

    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.

    “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.

    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.
