Ohio sheriff John Rodgers tired of serving Democrats, black people (1 Viewer)

Being outed by his sleep aid as someone with discriminatory tendencies may erode the public's trust in his ability to fairly do his job. The article doesn't mention prior disciplinary action against him for racist or discriminatory behavior/statements toward democrats or minorities. Without a history of documented unprofessional behavior, I don't think this is an offense warranting dismissal. If he has a history and it's been buried, the Sheriff should be held accountable as well as the officer. It would have been better, imo, for him to be encouraged to retire rather than risk damage to the credibility of the entire department or try to re-establish his credibility with the citizens assuming he had any.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio sheriff’s patrol commander who declared on Facebook that he would not help Democrats and would require proof of who a person voted for before providing them aid has apologized, blaming prescribed sleep aids for causing his “out of character” actions.

Lt. John Rodgers, a 20-year veteran of the sheriff’s office in Clark County, where Springfield is the county seat, made the statements in several posts on Facebook, WHIO-TV reported.



He said the quiet part our loud.

I am a cop and I take sleep meds, and I have never felt the urge to say any shit like that.

In vino veritas, etc. This person should be removed from the force.

Some say he is doing what BLM wants, no help, police assistance.
