An Ohio sheriff’s deputy has lost his job this week after admitting that he tweeted racially charged statements about the riots in Baltimore.
Zachary Davis was once a deputy with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office. Thanks to his social media habits, he’s going to be looking for another job.
Clark County Sheriff Gene Kelly terminated Davis after public pressure to do so once people learned of the tweets.
“Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, but not everyone is entitled to express the level of insensitivity, hostility and maliciousness that is evident in the following tweets — especially when the person expressing them holds the responsibility of enforcing the law, when that person indeed holds the power of the state in his hands,” local resident Trevor Brown wrote to Kelly in his email.
“If you’re posting these type of statements then I don’t feel you can serve this community,” Kelly said in a statement. ”We are public servants — we represent this community and serve this community.”
“I had nothing to say to him except that I’m disappointed and that it will not be tolerated,” Kelly said. “I found it offensive. Swiftly and surely, he was terminated. I’ve done everything I can do to try and correct this problem. It hurts us and this community and there’s no place for it.”

I totally agree with everything he tweeted. Good thing about my job is, my boss agrees as well, so, no worries about being fired for hating ni66ers.
Absolutely.I dont belong to Facebook and it intrudes into my privacy all the time…
It was nice to walk into work and see on my bosses computer, this as his background..
So true!
Hahahahaha that’s funny
Good thing I’m retired and can say what I want without repercussions. With that said I would never use the terminology that cop used. Bad decision on his part.
True. He went a tad overboard on a couple.
The only thing he went overboard on was putting it out there on that sort of social media! I worry sometimes that my employer will find a way to get at me through this site, and I definitely DONT even use that other shit! I don’t know why so many feel obligated to put they’re life out there!
yes sir. those on the left comment with total reassurance of constitutional protection. not so much for those on the other side. those on the right have to worry about their jobs if they exercise their first amendment. it seems to me this point has been clearly indicated in a number of stories on this site just this morning. some would outlaw conservatism if they could.
They can’t really prove who posted what – even if your Twitter or Facebook account was used. I would just deny everything and claim it was hacked.
I have 2 ex-wives out there! I’m not putting anything out for them to have something to say! They also know each other, so it could get dicey! Anybody I want to know anything, knows it.
Smart man.
There is just a little problem with dishonest cops.
Seems to be working for the prosecution…
I’ve wondered that since the beginning of this vanity internet phase. Unless you’re living under a rock, you have to know publishing this crap never ends well.
So true,always a risk,thought I was paranoiac,but big brother seems to know exactly where you are and what you do.
Oh which part exactly? How? Why?
He should have gone with “mad max”
Naw, that movie is offensive to the skinheads, stereotypes them!
Big Brother is watching.
He only repeated what others voiced and he was facing the violence.
That image is small, but it’s weird,
Was strange,I began to wonder about it too, surrealistic
Actually, his tweet about the stereotype was spot on. The others were just in poor taste.
Damn, it’s hard to get fired for speaking the truth! It’s easy, but it’s hard to accept! This man is a brother to all of us, and said nothing we don’t all feel. I hope this didn’t cost him a career, but it might. Stay off the facebook, and twitter with your thoughts, cause big bro, and employers are watching!
Are we still talking about OBAAMAA Care? Or something else?
Damn, how did you come up with a picture of Barry, and Newt in the same tub?
I believe that is Cankles and OBomber. { : )
Ever since the invention of Facebook and Twitter and other social media, never have lives less lived been more chronicled.
Who would have thought the Sub Human Urban Baboons would be offended?
Racist
The only race I am interested in preserving is the human race. If you choose to behave like a rabid animal, I believe you should be treated as such.
Me as well!
He only spoke the truth. Now he’s free to leave baltimore. He can do better than that niggger infested hellhole anyway.
He is from Ohio and I am pretty sure Baltimore is in Maryland.
Ah, you’re right. I missed that. Apologies. Thought he was a baltimore cop. But baltimore still sucks. Not the cops, but the city gov’t. Threw their own cops under the bus, ordering them to stand down and let them loot and burn the city. I’d resign and leave the city if I were a cop there. Since they want to burn it down, let them. Animals. There’s really something wrong in america when a city gov’t encourages its citizens to loot and burn their own city, and there’s something wrong when this cop in ohio gets fired for speaking the truth. This all tells me, why should anyone follow any laws? If you want something, steal it! If you are mad, or just bored, burn something down! If someone disses you, just shoot him! No consequences for anything anymore, unless you’re a white straight christian conservative american citizen who works for a living and pays taxes!
Guess I can’t do any of those things then..
Damn
Agree,a misdemeanour!In comparison to some cops.He didnt take a bribe,shoot maim or kill?!?!
Takes bravery to handle a mob.
LOL
There is actually a Baltimore in Ohio too. It’s a little SE of Columbus. It is also a shithole.
I’m offended. I liked the movies.
The truth cannot be tolerated if our dream of a progressive socialist driven communist utopia is to be realized in America. Your chip is coming you are just commercial property of the state. F*ck you and your imagined rights. I hate you all
why is this racist?
do blacks have some sort of complex about apes?
Well if they do, you’d think they’d like the comment.
Do not the apes run things in planet of the apes?
He pushed the envelope with his tweets. He had to know there would be repercussions. Social media can be a dangerous thing if one is not careful.
So when they going to fire the mayor and DA in Baltimore?
And the President and his AG??
I cannot see where he was wrong about anything he said. Maybe a bit stupid to say it but he was on target except that he denigrated the movie. Perhaps that is the reason for the firing.
So blacks can waste each other without impunity on a weekly basis, that’s acceptable genocide. The only true crime is being criticized by a white man.
I would never post anything that said these mongrel street apes are ruining America under their Supreme Ape Obama’s rule. Oops!
Outrage! To compare blacks to apes is over the line! The apes should sue him for defamation!
