Cop Fired For Ferguson Facebook Posts, Like ‘Where Is A Muslim With A Backpack When You Need Them?’
Some people don’t know when to keep their hateful, racist comments to themselves.

St. Louis Officer Matthew Pappert was fired for making some pretty out-there comments, including one calling the protestors “rabid dogs.”
The Glendale Police Department got wind of Pappert’s posts a little over a week ago and suspended him. One of the posts read, “These protesters should be put down like a rabid dog the first night.”
After he was suspended, Pappert issued an apology for what he said, though he did so in a written statement because, according to his attorney, “He’s a mess right now. It’s an embarrassment.”
Based on Pappert’s Facebook posts, he’s an equal opportunity hater.

If the continued revelations of who is policing Ferguson doesn’t get its citizens to vote and have appropriate representation in government, cops like this is also its future!

I imagine the residents of Ferguson are soon to be victims of the voter ID laws. Their board of elections probably moved the voting places to a particularly difficult to access area and restricted voting hours to Wed. morning, 9-11 AM.

That pitiful argument again. Everyone must carry ID after their 18th birthday! Enough Already. Show an ID or don’t vote!~!

It’s like if you had smallpox and the doctors kept on saying, “Well here’s a bad germ, we’ll just take this one out.”

Despicable thoughts produce despicable actions?
This police officer needs to be removed. Suspension? No way! …He belongs in another field. He could start over.
Maybe he could work as a shoe salesman in Harlem or East St. Louis? I could picture him with his nose in front of people’s feet. May give him a sense of humility. It would be difficult to utter insults at customers who have their toes near your forehead, huh?

I’m so NOT buying his “I’m a mess and so embarrassed about this” act. He knew what he was doing when he posted the BS on Facebook, and he meant to write it for all to see. What he’s doing now is reaping what he sowed, and he doesn’t like it one bit. He disparaged others and ended up losing his job.
Get in the unemployment line where you belong, Buddy!

Apparently it’s the new lottery for officers everywhere, make a statement ,get suspended w/pay, start your go-fund-me page and wait for the donations to roll in. Reportedly the darren wilson page was shut down after 400K. smdh.

Makes you kinda wonder if they shut it down because money was pouring in too fast… probably wouldn’t have been much longer before they reached a million..
