Ohio police commander's strange social media posts lead to public statement
Clark County law-enforcement officer posted unusual political statements on Facebook about refusing help to certain citizens. The long-serving commander later explained his actions were caused by medication side-effects
In a peculiar social-media incident‚ Lt John Rodgers – whose been serving Clark County Sheriffs Department for about twenty years made some eye-raising posts on Facebook (which caused quite a stir in the Springfield Ohio area)
The high-ranking officer wrote several concerning messages including: “If you support the Democrat Party I will not help you“; and made another post stating that he knew which citizens supported democrats and wouldnʼt assist them during end-times scenarios
After the posts gained attention Rodgers explained his actions – which seemed totally out-of-sync with his normal behavior – were caused by prescribed sleep-aids: these medications apparently led to some unexpected side-effects. The long-time law-enforcement professional made it clear that his posts dont reflect his actual views or professional standards
I am sorry. If you support the Democrat Party I will not help you
The incident happened in Clark County where Springfield serves as the main administrative center; its worth noting that such behavior goes against basic police conduct rules which require equal treatment of all citizens regardless of their political views
