Police officer quits after comments about killing Obama

Police officer quits after comments about killing Obama


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A Jacksonville police officer has quit after admitting he told colleagues that he would volunteer to assassinate President Obama.

Sam Koivisto told the Florida Times-Union on Wednesday that his comments had been blown out of proportion and that he'd planned to retire in five months anyway.

The 57-year-old retired earlier this month while facing an internal investigation into his comments to other officers after the election. He told them that if an order came to kill Obama, he "wouldn't mind being the guy."

When questioned by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office integrity unit, he said he also didn't care if a nuclear explosion killed everyone in the Northeastern U.S because they supported Obama. He told the investigators his comments were hyperbole and not actual threats.

I admit, when the buSh/chainy/r0ve trio stole two presidential elections I thought that if ever I could justify violent revolt, that that was the time.

These a$$zeros are angry over a fair election, a landslide where the American people spoke their minds. This Jacksonville clown wipe should be happy that the electoral system worked, considering the damage that was done to it by the evil trio.

I hope this a$$zero enjoys his new career as KKK PR point man and night shift warehouse security guard.
