Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 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. Link: Acting Sheriff Personally Terminates Deputy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Yep. Thank you Loophole. And shortly after that the Soviets started to working to infiltrate our collegiate education system in the late 50’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 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.

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chantry Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
