Cop Suspended After Forwarding Email Containing Pictures Of Mugshots Of Obama Supporters
Because the humorless left just won’t tolerate anyone making fun of them or their Messiah.
An Iowa State trooper who was investigated after it was shown that he forwarded an e-mail showing mug shots of people wearing Obama t-shirts has been suspended for 30 days.
Sgt. Rodney Hicok was at home and off-duty when he forwarded the e-mails, said an official with the Iowa Department of Public Safety Bureau and Professional Standards.
The e-mail made disparaging remarks about 15 people in the photos and referred to Obama as having “quite a fan base.”
Hicok was not making a racial statement, the official said, but, rather, a political statement.
In a statement, Hicok said, “I am deeply sorry for my actions … I apologize to anyone this e-mail may have offended, as well as my family, citizens in my community and Iowa taxpayers.”
Hicok ended his statement by saying he guaranteed “nothing like this will ever happen again.”
I posted the collage of pictures in question back in December. It was put together by The Smoking Gun.
When I posted it people accused me of racism because most (but not all) of the people in the mug shots are black. Which seems a bit silly to me. These are real mug shots. It’s cold, hard fact that these people were arrested. It’s also a fact, as evidenced by their wearing Obama apparel, that they’re Obama supporters. Thus, their collective images, are kind of humorous.
It doesn’t necessarily mean anything in general, but you can bet that liberals would get a kick out of a bunch of mugshots of Republicans wearing McCain/Palin shirts. So why can’t the left laugh at themselves a bit?
Because they’re a bunch of humorless twits at times.
If this cop had forwarded a bunch of mugshots of Republicans the ACLU would be championing his case. But he mocked The One and His disciples, so he must pay I guess.
