Oklahoma cop busted for racist Facebook threat against NFL players
A part-time police officer in Oklahoma will spared punishment and instead receive “social media counseling” after threatening protesting NFL players on Facebook.
According to News on 6, Verdigris police officer Brandon Jarvis launched a racist attack on professional football players who have protested anti-black police brutality by kneeling during the national anthem.
Writing on Facebook, Jarvis threatened, “Precisely why I don’t watch NFL bunch of f*ckin overpaid greasy headed moon crickets expecting everything for nothing!! It would make my day to b*tch slap the Jerry juice outta everyone of them’s hair!! F*ck em!! #sorrynotf*ckinsorry”
Alerted to the post, which Jarvis wrote when commenting on hockey players standing for the anthem, Police Chief Jack Shackleford said that the officer would not be suspended.
According to Shackleford, Jarvis will instead receive “some personal counseling by me in the use of social media.”
“If he is saying that his account was hacked, I don’t have any evidence to substantiate either claim,” Shackelford said in a statement.
Upset by anthem protests, St. Charles VFW post stops showing NFL games
ST. CHARLES • Amid the national debate over free speech and protests against alleged police brutality, a Veterans of Foreign Wars post in St. Charles has stopped showing National Football League games because members feel players are disrespecting the flag.
A news release issued by Post 2866's commander, Paul Schmidt, said NFL games won't be shown anymore in the post's Club Room until the league and its players "show proper respect to our flag."
Schmidt said all members attending a meeting Wednesday voted to turn off the NFL games.
Their decision is in reaction to football players on various levels, from pro to high school, protesting police behavior toward African-Americans by kneeling or remaining in the locker room as the national anthem plays.
The Club Room is the Post's bar and is open to the public. If people stop coming to the Club Room because there's no pro game to watch, it could cost the VFW Post $300 to $400 per week, Schmidt said.
But to post members, "it's not about money; it's standing up for what we believe in," Schmidt said. Just as players have a right to protest at any venue and for any purpose they choose, so, too, does the VFW post, he said.
"The flag represents the United States of America, and it has nothing to do with what's going on in their minds or how they think the police are unjustly shooting their people," he said.
"We got a lot of guys that came home with that flag draped on their coffins, so to us it's a disrespect."
Instead of taking the protest to a national stage as large as the one offered by NFL games, Schmidt wishes the protests would remain where, to him, they belong.
"Obviously they're entitled to their opinion and to protest but this is not the proper venue for them to do that," he said. "If they want to do like they do in St. Louis and hit the streets, that's great, we're all behind that, if they feel there's an injustice there."
Sheriff's office refuses to buy Ford vehicles due to NFL protests
BOSSIER PARISH - A parish in North Louisiana says it refuses to buy any more Ford vehicles for its force because of ongoing protests in the National Football League.
The announcement came from Bossier Parish Sheriff Julian Whittington Wednesday afternoon in the form of an open letter addressed to the Ford Motor Company, which is a longtime sponsor of the NFL. The boycott is a direct response to players who have been protesting by kneeling during the national anthem before football games.
"The recent events surrounding the NFL, its players and their audacity to thumb their collective noses at the American flag, the American military as well as the obvious disdain for the profession of law enforcement in general forces me to take a stand," the statement read.
The statement goes on to recommend that other law enforcement agencies follow suit and refuse to buy Ford vehicles.
"NFL players have the right to protest as they deem necessary, but we, the Bossier Sheriff's Office and the taxpayers of Bossier Parish have a right to spend our money elsewhere."
