If this was the cop who made that video about LeBron James from his squad car while in uniform I can understand why he was fired. I'm in the military and, while we are allowed to say whatever the hell we want outside of uniform, our speech is severely restricted while in uniform. I imagine the same holds true for cops. Had I made a similar video while in uniform, I would have been disciplined for it. Had he made the video while dressed in civilian clothes I don't think he would have been fired.

The Sheriff's opponent needs to bludgeon him to death with this issue in the next election.

I have a good buddy in the Navy who says the same. I respect highly the point you and he make and in general completely agree that’s how it should be.

I will offer insofar as I can tell, the enforcement aspect is perceived to being applied to only one of the two major political viewpoints.

Now whether that’s because all pro-woke personnel are being good and compliant -or- they just don’t get disciplined for their views I can’t say.

I do know I don’t seem to hear about those cases, if they happen.

James is in a protected class. A white police officer criticizes a black basketball player is a big no no.

Dude got himself fired

When you play stupid games on tik tok/twitter/facebook/etc you win stupid prizes.

The first thing, he did this while on duty. He fricking knows better.

I'm all pro cop, but when you do stupid shite, you know whats coming, and i feel sympathy for him. He should start a gofund me, people would pile the $$ for him.

Let’s be honest. If he did this outside the uniform the result would be the same. People need to sue every time this happens. It will stop eventually

This +1000.

This isn't the red part of Idaho. Bellevue has pretty much been engulfed by the Cali transplants in Hailey & Sun Valley.

This.

I thought his video was hilarious and had an obvious truth element. But how many people in this thread are speaking out on the firing have also told athletes to "shut up and dribble".

I unfortunately have some Uber liberal military family, and while don’t spew their venom in uniform, it’s directly above and below posts where they are in uniform. And 100% of their uniformed friends are libs, it’s sickening.

If Trump is such a con man then what does that make Biden?

Biden has 50 years of con man experience.

Trump isn't a saint but he made his money and lost a fortune when he became president.

China Joe is pushing 80 is still trying to make money by dirty means possible.

Just look at the raw intelligence between the two. Biden is a dumbass who couldn't cut in the real world and ran to politics.

Trump was born and raised in a pressure cooker and has learned to thrive in that environment for over 70 years.

Trump made money in the family business. Biden lied, cheated and stole his way to success.
