Bend Bulletin via The Oregonian ^ | 5/4/2021 | Garrett Andrews

A Bend Police Department officer will be investigated for allegedly violating policy by wearing a keychain connected to a far-right group while in uniform on Saturday.

Bend Chief Mike Krantz did not identify the employee, though Cpl. Josh Spano is the officer seen in a photograph circulating on Reddit and Facebook. Attached to the front of Spano’s service vest is an item reading “molon labe” in Greek lettering, a phrase associated with the far-right Three Percenters militia.

Lefties don't need an excuse to bitch. They'll just make something up, and run with it. Remember, it's not the the evidence that matters. It's the seriousness of the charge that counts.

I had already decided we on the east side need a cut-out for Bend; we’ll have to call it CCO (Communist Central Oregon). Not totally gone yet.

Bend is the new Eugene. And the old Eugene is a sh*thole. One day, everyone’s wearing Gore-Tex and Earth-friendly fibers, hiking into their fishing hole with their llamas. The next day, everyone’s stepping over syringes and feces.

The phrase is only associated with some “far right” group if one is ignorant of history.

Well, to be fair, he was technically out of uniform by adding an unauthorized patch.

You’re not supposed to do that.

They are hunting down and eliminating anyone who doesn’t think their way. Kind of like what the nazis did to the Jews. Anybody who had a “Jewish” name, the wrong shape nose, or wore the wrong clothes was packed into a train headed for the death camps.

-— Bend is in the “sane” part of Oregon -—

Bend used to be OK, at least into the 80s. Now it’s just a little slice of California. Bet everyone there wears a mask 24-7, and two if they think anyone’s looking.

And still no name of the murderous Capitol cop who is being protected far better than any secret service agent could do.

The LEFT now agrees with Senator Joe McCarthy in the dangers of being 'associated with' and the need to expurgate the same! (I use this example as how far the LEFT has gone into what they so long proclaimed as criminal, like blacklists etc. [Oops, did I just say that?])

The insanity of using such farcical 'association' without any other factor is prime idiocy, not that this has ever stopped a snowflake of the LEFT in full meltdown! By using the English Language, I am 'in association' with some 400 million 'native speakers' and, without doubt, use phrases that are also uttered by people who hate & detest everything I am writing right here! What idiocy is bred by such insults to intelligence!

The officer messed up. He should have had a hammer and sickle on his keychain. Then, he would have been in line for a promotion.
