Disgusting.
The internet hate mob has once again taken it too far.
But clearly police using time on the clock, paid for by taxpayers, to donate to murderers, or using their uniform as an excuse to kill, is not going too far.
So losing your job and your privacy in return for a donation is proportionate retribution now?
Do you care for liberty and freedom, or just some cardboard cutout version that only restricts the freedom of those you dislike?
When people do something on the job they shouldn't be doing, they deserve to lose their job, period. I don't know why this suddenly becomes controversial when it's cops breaking the rules.
If you watch the video in the OP link, you will hear that this officer included a note to Rottenhouse with his donation, telling him ...
"Every rank-and-file police officer supports you. Don't be discouraged by the actions of the political class of law enforcement leadership."This statement, attached to the full name of the police officer, and seen by the entire community, is probably what contributed most to his a$$ getting canned.
Good riddance.
