An Ohio sheriff’s patrol commander has apologized for posting on Facebook that he wouldn't help Democrats and would require proof of who a person voted for before providing aid.

Lt. John Rodgers, a 20-year sheriff’s veteran in Clark County, where Springfield is the county seat, made the statements in several posts on Facebook, WHIO-TV reported. In one post, he reportedly wrote: “I am sorry. If you support the Democrat Party I will not help you.” Another said: “The problem is that I know which of you supports the Democratic Party and I will not help you survive the end of days.”

The sheriff’s office said Rodgers, who has commanded the department’s road patrol, would remain on duty, with a written reprimand for violating the department’s social media policy.

    Sounds like grounds to challenge any and all of his decisions, including any legal charges he is associated with.

    Good thing this man is given a gun and near carte blanch to shoot people he feels threatened by. /s

      Yeah I would think a criminal defense attorney would be able to do a lot with this situation.

      Sleep medication or not it shows a lot of bias in how this person enforces the law
