A school security officer in Virginia who told a protester opposing President Obama's health-care plan that America is "no more" remains employed, but is now under investigation because of his statements, according to his school district.
"I have to say, I've seen the video. We do not condone what the officer did say," Paul Regnier, the coordinator of communications and community relations for Fairfax County Public Schools told WND today.
WND reported earlier when the YouTube video showing school Security Officer Wesley Cheeks Jr. objecting to a protest sign carried at a town-hall meeting held by Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va. The sign read "Organizing for National Socialist Health Care – The Final Solution" and it also depicted Obama in the Joker's makeup.
"This used to be America," argued a protester outside a health-care town hall meeting in Reston, Va., after Cheeks threatened him with arrest for holding up a sign with a picture critical of Barack Obama. The officer's response?
"It ain't no more, OK?"

His staff represent him, and if he doesn't take action against the officer who was abusing his authority, then I suggest we direct our anger toward Regnier's supervisor.
“”I have to say, I’ve seen the video. We do not condone what the officer did say,” Paul Regnier,..”

Hey Paul, if you leave him with his job then you DO condone is statements.
It’s OK. He’s black. That’s just how he rolls.
Is this the same as a city police officer?
Does this guy actually have arrest powers outside of the schoolyard?
Here’s the video.

Wesley Cheeks: “It has a picture on it.”
The other guy should be canned too.
Well, at least the complaints are going to the right place now.

Your Officer Wesley Cheeks says this is no longer America. I would
appreciate it if you would tell me what “this” is?
Cheeks is a thug and a disgrace to your department and my country.
Very Sincerely,

What he says is damning, but he also violated the demonstrator’s civil rights when he said the sign must go down because it has a photo on it. That’s why he should be fired.
Wesley “Butt” Cheeks ping!
Hey, isn’t that Van Jones????
He isn’t sure that was him or not. He will have to check with himself and then get back to you.
Hehehehehe...

The case of “Wesley Cheeks vs America”. Wesley you ignorant racist fool. Your 15 minutes has just begun.
“It’s OK. He’s black.”
You know the man holding the sign is Bob Park, the black conservative commentator.
Thought this might interest your lists.
I wonder how many e-mails they’ve received like yours.
Cheeks is guilty on a few counts:
1) When the protestor read Cheeks name as “Officer Wesley Cheeks”, Cheeks agreed and said “yes” that implied that he was an officer, and
2) When Cheeks threatened to arrest him if he didn’t comply with the “officer’s” orders.
3) Using that assumed position of authority to violate the protester’s civil rights.
4) He’s already guilty of being a dumbass.
Yes I do. But (according to the libs and media) since he's a conservative, he's an 'Oreo" and his opinion doesn't count.
Didn't you get the 'talking points'? (sarc/)
