No one should lose their job for ridiculing the president. Obozo is a thin-skinned pussy. Millions of people called George Bush a chimp and it was considered totally acceptable.

Three policemen fired in Florida making fun of president three policemen dismiss in Florida fun of Obama What is USA

march 22 2015
Three policemen were fired on Friday in Florida for making “racist” comments, some of them based on a video produced by an agent who resigned last month and the making fun of President Barack Obama, officials said.

Fort Lauderdale police said in a news conference that the official James Wells, 29, Jason Holding, 31, and Christopher Sousa, 25, were dismissed for “racist” comments and “offensive” in telephone communications.

Meanwhile, the police Alex Alvarez, 22, who produced a video showing President Obama with gold chains and gold teeth and another person dressed similar to the supremacist Ku Klux Klan (KKK) clothing, resigned last month .

The four officers were subject to a five-month investigation by the police, during which they argued that the video was a “joke”.

“Among the four official racist text messages were exchanged,” said Police Chief Fort Lauderdale, Frank Adderley, who said that Alvarez would be fired for the same reason.

No it was not acceptable calling GW a chimp. Despite the fact that some liberals did call Bush a chimp, they were as wrong as cons calling Obama horrible things. In private life, if you do not represent anyone or anything that matters, then you can say whatever the fuck it is that you want. But if you work for a company or organization that has certain standards, then you are under an obligation, written or not, to represent that company or organization in a positive light. Crossing certain lines may well cost you your job. Tough shit.

These are govt employees. Almost impossible to fire them. But they did it here. WHY?

I don't know.
We really need to sit down in a quiet spot with no distractions and THINK.

We? Don't worry about me. THINK is my middle name.

I suspect it's all about intent. Republicans are racist. That's a given. .

Democrats support affirmative action , the govt mandated persecution of white people. They are the racists. Conservative believe in equal treatment. THINK

So tell us who was fired for calling Bush a chimp.

It was a 5 month long, thorough investigation, BEFORE they made the decision to finally fire them SS, so you'll have to ask the independent investigators that recommended their dismissal, and also wonder why the union was not able to protect. them from losing their jobs....to me, this is an indication that a lot more dirty laundry is known behind the scenes, that is being held back from us outsiders so to protect these cops from further embarrassment.

More dirty laundry?. Tell us about it. You can't just make stuff up.

I don't know. Why don't you show me an example of police officers calling GW a chimp. Then we would have an apples to apples comparison. If you can't do that, then you are just whining like you normally do.

The left hates freedom of speech. They hate this country...fascist bastards.

This isn't a freedom of speech issue, it is four cops, who did something very stupid.

When you are employed, there is a code of conduct, break it and you are gone.

They didn't get fired for ridiculing Obama. They got fired for passing around racist crap at work using company emails and cellphones.

This had nothing to do with freedom of speech laws and everything to do with misuse of an employer's equipment and time.
