From the "you are not helping" department:
Pennsylvania police chief: F*ck all you libtards out there, you take it in the a** | The Raw Story
In a video that has received wide attention, [Gilberton, Pennsylvania] police chief Mark Kessler repeatedly tells those upset by his use of profanity to “go f*ck yourself” as he fires various automatic weapons.
Mayor Mary Lou Hannon told The Morning Call that Kessler had the right to express himself. The city would “not take action to quash free speech, whether or not each member of council or any member of council agrees with it.”
...
“F*ck all you libtards out there, as a matter of fact, read my shirt,” he says, turning around to show a message on his back which read, “Liberals take it in the a**.”
“You take it in the ass and I don’t give a f*ck what you say so you can all just go f*ck yourselves. Period. I wont be going to D.C. and I don’t give a f*ck. If you f*cking maniacs want to turn this into an armed revolt, knock yourselves out. I’m not about that, so see you on the other side.”

“I’m calling on all true Americans , all militia members, all true oath keepers to assemble, be ready to march on a tyrannical county government right here in Schuylkill county Pennsylvania, democrats are the true enemy of our country, our freedoms, our constitution, along with liberal news agency’s , liberal news reporters, much like hitlers nazis , time we clean these antiamerican thugs from office,” he wrote.
Now, I support the freedom of speech and the right to keep and bear arms about as much as anyone. But some public service jobs -- like police chief -- don't have "off hours", and free speech does not mean that a public official should be able to engage in this sort of unprofessional behavior and not face consequences.
And I hope that this incident might plant a seed of doubt in the minds of my friends who favor gun prohibition in the belief that we can and should rely on police for protection...do you want to rely on this guy to keep you safe?
