...police K-9 officer Brian Valenti is in hot water after posting an offensive comment on Facebook related to Friday’s “die-in” protest at Publix, saying he hoped “some old lady loses control of her car in that lot.”
Valenti, 45, posted the comment under a photo of David Hogg, the Parkland student and activist who organized the anti-NRA event.
....Valenti, who has been with the department 23 years, has taken the post down.
But a woman who spotted and took a screenshot of his comment sent an email Saturday night to Coconut Creek commissioners and Police Chief Butch Arenal urging that the veteran officer be suspended or fired.
...Rod Skirvin, a union leader and recently retired Coconut Creek detective, described Valenti as “distraught” over the incident.
“He feels terrible and is very willing to apologize in person,” Skirvin said. “We are going to speak to the chief on Tuesday when he goes back to work. There will be disciplinary repercussions for him.”

Where do they find these people ? This country has such a double standard. Anyone who criticizes any so-called “victim group or a member thereof” is subject to all manner of hatred and calumny including loss of livelihood.
When are we going to start tormenting and blackballing the purveyors of cultural marxism, Keynesianism, and environmental stupidity, the welfare state, and public
education, for starters ? Hmm ? No time like the present.
Only morons post under their actual identities in any online forum.
Have no sympathy for this guy at all.
The cop was right of course but probably not the best idea to post this on Fecesbook.
Just one more tick toward civil war.
Libs are the only group who can complain and be offended. Not so anyone else.
The cop should know better than to 1) have FB and 2) use his real ID.
Don’t post ANYTHING if you’re in law enforcement
Better yet. If you’re a MAN Don’t even go on fakebook
I’m on your side there. When does this start?
Like Sheriff Israel? Sorry....couldn’t resist. I hail from that area many moons ago.
“Like Sheriff Israel?”
Exactly. The people can fire a crooked sheriff like Isreal via the ballot box. The people cannot fire a leftist police chief without taking out the city council and leftist mayor. It can be done, but it’s more difficult.
Incidentally, a sheriff can control a leftist police chief who harasses the citizens. My sheriff has run two police chiefs out of the county.
