Discussion: Sheriff's Sergeant Demoted For Wearing QAnon Patch In Picture With Pence

This is normal, right? I mean, this happens all the time. Remember when the Black Panthers wore “Death to Whitey” patches when they met with Obama?

Glad to hear this guy has to suffer some consequences for his actions. Fox is probably going to be all upset that he has to suffer for doing something stupid, but oh well.

The consequences probably just reinforced the conspiracy to these guys. No getting through to some people.

I think the scariest part by far, is that someone with the dedication and skill to make SWAT could be such a completely nuckingfuts ace in the hole.

I’m glad to hear this public servant lost money for showing his hateful strikes while on the JOB!

Besides how would he feel if a female cop wore a “pussy hat” while working as his counterpart?

What’s really disturbing are the peace officers who look more like soldiers on deployment in Iraq. This is what they wear to meet the VP?
Guy in the middle has got to be on steroids.
ETA : come to think of it, I wonder how much steroid use has to do with belief in QAnon? Cesar the van bomber looked like a steroid user as well.

So, I finally found out where my crazy Trump Loving cousin kept getting his scoops. I’ve seen him a handfull of times this year and every time he’s had all these OMG this is going to happen in 2 weeks (was always 2 weeks).

Good Friday he said Clinton, Obama, Sorros etc would all get arrested in 2 weeks!

Early October it was ‘on 10/12 Trump was going to use his new Presidential Text System to declare Marshall Law and arrest all the Dems and Liberal Reporters’

For Thanksgiving he said don’t go to work on 12/5 there’s going to be a major event, lots of arrests.

Turns out it’s all QAnon…:laughing:

Come on. This is a member of a police force? Looks more like a military presence.

Look at their “uniforms.”

This is disgusting bullcrap.

Glad you saw it the same way, because it is that bad.

Wake up, Florida.

Dummy. He should have removed it.

He felt perfectly confident that it wasn’t necessary. Pence was right there.

The outrage would be volcanic in nature.

He could spend more time at home eating cereal and mumbling conspiracy theories.

“Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses”

In regard to this kind of nonsense, I find it helpful to realize that individuals like this are not really fully developed adults. They are emotionally and intellectually an unruly 13 year old at best. They think this stuff is “funny.” But yet they still think that, at the same time, they are being the smart one.

I feel sorry for the guy. He has no idea what it is like to be genuinely intellectually serious. He is not even sophomoric; he is juvenile.

That’s not a demotion. In a military formatted rank structure a demotion is losing rank. I see nothing about losing rank. It seems he’s still a sergeant. All that happened here was he lost the cushy and prestigious security detail he had occasionally been on and taken off the SWAT team which isn’t even a full time job here in Broward County.

All that means is that his normal, regular duties and accompanying pay has stayed the same. And though he likely won’t be back on the security detail any time soon he could quite realistically be back on SWAT next week for all we know. This was nothing more than a CYA move by the department.

They can still do considerable damage.

Boy, do I miss Quisp. So many of my friends never even heard of it.

Buried lede: Sgt. Matt Patten (…) put the patch on in order to get it in a picture with Pence.

He was demoted but still works there? Not good enough!
