Ohio Sheriff’s Lieutenant in hot water; “If you support the Democrats, I will not help you"

[ExpandMyMind]

Quote

It is reported that some of the posts, which have been shared more than 250,000, suggested that Rodgers would factor in a caller’s voting preference when responding to emergency calls.

According to the news source, some of the posts stated, “I am sorry. If you support the Democratic Party, I will not help you” and “The problem is that I know which of you supports the Democratic Party, and I will not help you survive the end of days.”

In another post, according to WHIO, Rodgers wrote that people would need to “provide proof of who you voted for” before rendering aid.

As a Trumper, I would help people regards of their political views. Anyone that would let politics influence them isn't a good Samaritan.

When your a first responder politics should have nothing to do with it.

Your a public servant protecting and saving them and their property and that's it.

Well, there we go folks, that’s the bell being rung on America as a unified nation. 
You say “one off, from a lunatic” I say “the first of many, from a lunatic”. We’ll have private businesses asking “who did you vote for?” before serving customers, and once “surge pricing” is allowed, businesses that lean one way will be charging customers who voted the other way more, or maybe just charging those who agree with them less. We’ll go back to the days of private fire brigades, but it’ll be “party brigades” that only reply to the fire if it affects Democrats or Republicans, not “if you paid your insurance” like the last time.

Philadelphia Fire Departments use to fight over house fires then only put out the ones who had their insurance plaque for that department.

In the 80s and 90s you couldn't cross county lines and I was suspended for two weeks for saving a girl's life in a oil fire in Camden County.

Then had to pay for my turnout coat because I ruined it using it to protect her and left it on her when I bailed because the local company showed up and I had to get out fast.

SCOTUS has already ruled that LE has no Constitutional duty to protect citizens.

Yup, first responders don't either.

Part of that was because of the Jehovah's Witnesses refusing blood and certain religions refusing drugs or having their bodies cut. We don't have to treat JWs if they have a major injury. We really can't.

If this guy is proven to have said this, he needs to go.  He has no legitimacy in that position, none.

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.”

 

Only in America. How does this guy have that job?????

For two weeks I've been getting text messages saying that who you vote for is private. If you don't vote it's public record. What is this supposed to mean? Can you tell me how you got my phone number?

As for your phone number, unless you pay to have your public records secured, they're available online for a monthly fee.  Name and state is usually enough to dig up criminal records, financial issues, addresses, phone numbers, the whole lot.  It ought to be criminal, IMO.

I think any first responder is obligated to help anyone in need.  Just basic decency and part of the job.

With that said, there is a feeling that with liberals you have to let them experience the results of the policies they support to effect change.  

Living in a liberal community, I see it everyday.  They are for endless government spending until their property taxes go through the roof.  Soft on crime until it is their home that is burglarized.  Love open borders until they are paying for migrant services.  At some point, you have to make them own their policies.  Of course, the problem is most liberals aren't bright enough to recognize cause and effect so often they can't connect the dots to their own policies as the reason for their discomfort.

If you did or didn’t vote is public record. HOW you voted is not.

Every election office and Secretary of State offices sell voter lists. During election season they are updated constantly and bought constantly. People can purchase these lists, cross reference with any other databases. A persons phone number is usually out there somewhere.

During the 2000 election I paid to have my record made confidential. Being an election employee I didn’t want anyone getting any of my info. Hubs did not do the same.  Guess who gets calls all the time.  

Married 36 years, he should know by now who is right.

Re the topic -

Hope this j@class likes working at Walmart.

Hey, let's apply the same logic to Republicans:

At some point you just have to shoot their kids. Of course the problem is most Republicans aren't bright enough to recognize cause and effect.

You seriously can’t connect the dots here, or are you just pretending to not understand the point being made again?

Honestly don’t know which is worse by now.
