23-Year-Veteran Cop Suspended For Mocking The All-Mighty Hogg

You know all those things you want to say about David Hogg but you don’t write on the internet? (That is…most of you don’t. Some people still don’t seem to understand that some things are best kept offline.)

Well, a cop said them. On the internet.

…and he’s been suspended for it.

According to this:

A Florida police officer has been suspended for 5 days for an ill-advised comment directed at Parkland, Florida, student David Hogg.

Told ya.

Coconut Creek police K-9 officer Brian Valenti posting the comment on Facebook in response to the “die-in” intimidation campaign Hogg organized to protest the Florida based Supermarket Publix contributing to a hometown candidate who supports the NRA, according to the Sun Sentinel.

Valenti said he hoped “some old lady loses control of her car in that lot,” posting the comment under a photo of media favorite Hogg and two others standing in a parking lot at the Coral Springs Publix.

Yeeeeeeeah. I’m sure he’s not the ONLY person who feels that way.

But it’s probably better to keep that to yourself.

In a show of the media support an empowered Hogg enjoys, the story was picked up widely by the national media.

Of course it was.

You know what the media NEVER talks about?

The THOUSANDS of people who tweet about wanting to kill/hurt Trump members of his team and family, and CONSERVATIVES as a whole EVERY FREAKING DAY.

Where’s the outrage on that?

While inexcusable, the comment captures the animosity many feel toward Hogg and his misguided campaign of bullying toward those who don’t support his gun control agenda — the student called 5 million responsible gun owners who make up the NRA “child murderers.”

The Publix #NoNRASellout protest began in the early morning hours. Survivors and family of victims chalked outlines of bodies in the Parkland @Publix parking lot to deliver the message that the NRA and their enablers are blocking rational gun policy. #NoNRAMoney pic.twitter.com/UOOAVEV4yT

Coconut Creek Chief Albert “Butch” Arenal shared a statement online announcing the 23 year veteran police officer’s suspension over the “disparaging remark.”

“After careful consideration of the adverse impact Officer Valenti’s Facebook post may have had on any of the individuals involved, his deep regret for making the comment, and the damage inflicted upon the Coconut Creek Police Department’s reputation, I have decided to suspend Officer Valenti for a period of five days without pay,” Arenal said in the statement.

The police chief noted that his department has been actively involved in responding to the tragic shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School.

“Our officers have walked alongside Parkland students,” he added, “providing security during protests, have attended and assisted with events and vigils in Parkland to show solidarity with our kids, and our amazing employees have gone above and beyond the call of duty to be there for our community in a time of need.”

Do I think his comment was the best idea?

No.

But this only serves to highlight the left’s OUTRAGEOUS hypocrisy.
