Had this been a Black Cop from Chicago doing exactly the same thing with a picture of Bush, he'd have at least another 15 years left on his sentence:

Vegas Cop Gets To Keep Job Despite Obama Gun Photo, Calling For 'Race War'

A Las Vegas police detective was allowed to keep his job despite posting photos of him aiming a gun at an image of Barack Obama and calling for "race war," the Las Vegas Sun reported on Monday.

“Let’s just get this over! Race war, Civil, Revolution? Bring it! I’m about as fed up as a man (American, Christian, White, Heterosexual) can get!” Detective Bobby Kinch wrote on his Facebook page in 2013, according to the Las Vegas Sun.

He also reportedly posted photos of himself pointing a gun at a commemorative plate of the President, which he received for his birthday as a gag gift.

A former head of internal affairs contacted the Secret Service about the photo, the Sun reported. Federal agents reportedly prepared to detain Kinch and raid his house, but eventually decided he was not a legitimate threat.

1. yup the 1st amendment is a double-edged sword

[Skittles]

2. this is very disturbing

free speech is one thing, but thinking that was a good idea shows a supreme lack of good judgement........also, the part where he has to describe himself as AMERICAN, CHRISTIAN, WHITE, HETEROSEXUAL is obviously his way of showing his disdain for anyone outside those self-perceived "norms". The man is not fit to be in ANY position of authority.

4. One of the very valuable things the Internet has provided.

It has shown us not only the extraordinarily low regard the average cop has for the average civilian, we know that they hold those views with no sense of shame whatsoever.

In fact it seems like a significant number are actually proud of being ignorant, violent, cruel, racist assholes.

6. I would not call him the average cop

[MindPilot]

7. Nor would I.

This particular cretin is dumber than average...he managed to out himself.

[Skittles]

8. I don't stereotype cops

but this one is absolutely absolutely unfit for duty....he's not "dumb" - more likely a sociopath

[branford]

3. And some here foolishly believe that Mayor deBlasio

can fire hundreds of NYPD police officers in union friendly, deep blue NYC, for back-turning . . .

[Wellstone ruled]

5. And we have more of these hate filled

POS in Metro. Appears sides have been chosen after the November elections. Very fortune we didn't end up with a real hate monger in the name of Burns who the Police Union endorsed. With the poverty rate as high as it is hear,no wonder gang activity is so rampant. Hey,it's Vegas baby.
