LOST MY VOTE I’m sorry, but I just don’t buy the innocence act. It was evident that the Lee county sheriff was at a political function voicing his political preference and using the power of his position to influence voters. Personally, I get it that he is a republican and that he wants to see other republicans voted into office, I respect that. What I can not abide is a person willing to use the power of his supposedly neutral office to pressure the same people he is charged with protecting. This is a man carrying a gun telling you who to vote for. Myself I will no longer vote for the man, which is the only influence I have and will gladly see anybody else in the sheriff position as it is clear to me that Mike Scott can not be objective in his duties.
Scott can deny his intentions till the cows come home, but that only adds "liar" to the list of his indiscretions. What a sorry state of affairs when one of our elected officials cannot admit that he made a mistake. Even the McCain-Palin campaign has denounced his behavior, so what does that tell you? This incident was a misuse of his position in addition to just being downright nasty. Have you noticed how this type of behavior is absent from Obama's speeches? He gives respect and admiration to his opponent, while firmly disagreeing with McCain's plans for getting us out of all our messes. That's called "class"...something that is sorely missing in our sheriff.
Politics in law enforcement should be limited. There's no reason for it. You're there to protect us with the laws that polititians pass, that you and your department must enforce. The office of the Sheriff should ne neutral, politically.
That stain would probably fade faster if he just apologized to those he offended. Whether he meant harm or not isn't the point. Men of good character apologize when they offend people.
this guy must be fire!! we don't need racist sheriff, the segregation it's over since 1960
He is obviously the 3rd type of person he described. Wondering what happened and why the FEDS are investigating me.I as a Police Officer, think SHERIFF SCROTUM HEAD has just disgraced his uniform and all of us who wear one.
Sheriff is a SHITHEAD cause he broke a FEDERAL LAW - he used his uniform for political purpose. That causes an IMAGE of IMPROPRIETY for an OATH of Law enforcers to IMPARTIALLY ENFORCE the LAW.Not because he called Obama by his middle name Hussein. Learn to read.
Scott can say whatever he wants, but not be part of a rally on duty time, know the law, idiot. Feds are now investigating him for breaking the law, not for saying Hussein, but for breaking the law.
Hey dumb flatfoot you forgot the 4th kind of people YOU lol. your gonna wonder what happened to your job
Good to see Mike Scott is under investigation for his racially aggravated comment by the FBI. Here's hoping Scott loses his job around the same time his party loses the election.
I was a Marine Infantryman MOS 0331 (machinegunner). I serve now as a Police Officer. It is one thing to disagree on politics and policy- its another to spread outright LIES.Another message for this FAG SHERIFF- stop using your uniform for political purpose. The PUBLIC EXPECTATION of IMPARTIAL LAW ENFORCEMNT is PARAMOUNT to our profession. Your a DISGRACE to that uniform and all of us who wear one.
WTF...? Who is a Muslim...? Obama...? You dipshits better come up with some PROOF/FACTS before you spew out BULLSHIT!Barack Huessein Obama was born in USA. He is the son of a WHITE WOMEN and KENYAN FATHER. His grandfather is a REAL HERO unlike this FAGGOT SHERIFF. His Grandfather served under Gen. Patton- part THE GREATEST GENERATION to have LIVED. He saved the world from real TYRANNY and he would be turning in his grave listening to you SCUMBAGS disparage his grandson (Obama) with LIES.
This sheriff should have known better than to wear his uniform and show his right wing bais i hope he gets fired. He is arrogant and i am sure he abuses his powers in his county.
