Local Deputy Fired


Recommended Posts

Sworn in six months ago.  Young, eager, looking forward to a rewarding career. 

 

The 24-year old deputy was fired today, after the Sheriff's office received a "tweet" with a screenshot someone had found of the deputy using a racial slur in a conversation.

 

Five years ago, when he was 19.

 

Evidently "Zero Tolerance" is retroactive.   :mellow:

Indeed it is, and has been for some time.

 

We've been preaching to kids for years that social media is forever; that they should expect colleges and prospective employers to run a search on their postings; and that just because that naked photo was taken while they were in high school, it will still be reviewed and held against their record.

 

Never post anything you wouldn't want your Momma to see.

Yep. Thank you Loophole. 
 

And shortly after that the Soviets started to working to infiltrate our collegiate education system in the late 50’s.

Well, old pictures didn't stop the Canadian Prime Minister from being elected twice. So far.

And he hasn't been fired.

Here he is in some of his favorite costumes.

 Respectful isn't he?

Unfortunate, but not surprising.  Keeping the deputy after this became public knowledge could have caused legal issues for the department and jeopardized the chance of the Sheriff getting re-elected.

 

Anything tweeted, said or posted anywhere on the internet is forever.

Remember when we were kids in school and we were told that this, that or the other would go on our permanent record? 

 

Welp...

Zero tolerance. However that only works against one side. Jimmie Fallon and Jimmie Kimmel both performed in blackface multiple times. Still have their jobs. If conservative, zero tolerance would apply.

I’ve never seen the film, but this indicates a double standard:

Mine too. Lots of us, they might find us less than compliant.

Don't forget Eddie Murphy as the old Jewish guy in Coming to America.

Well it’s comedy, satire. Meant to sometimes reinforce  stereotypes, at other times discredit them. At the end of the day, just make money by making people laugh.

Yep, if you doubt it, ask Carson King.

And just like that a children's hospital is punished for a stupid childhood act.
