Iowa Trooper Suspended For Obama E-Mail
E-Mail Made Disparaging Remarks About 'Obama Fan Base'


OMAHA, Neb. -- An Iowa State trooper who was investigated after it was shown that he forwarded an e-mail showing mug shots of people wearing Obama t-shirts has been suspended for 30 days.

Sgt. Rodney Hicok was at home and off-duty when he forwarded the e-mails, said an official with the Iowa Department of Public Safety Bureau and Professional Standards.

The e-mail made disparaging remarks about 15 people in the photos and referred to Obama as having "quite a fan base."

Hicok was not making a racial statement, the official said, but, rather, a political statement.

1. Good.
Law enforcement professionals should be above reproach at all times.

Any LE pro who demonizes his fellow citizens because they vote for someone he doesn't like should be held as suspect.

4. No, he was mainly making a statement about himself being a douchebag.

5. Dry out the trooper's excuses...
...and come spring you'd have plenty of fertilizer for the whole state of Iowa.
