Ohio Deputy Criticized for Biased Social Media Posts

Lt. John Rodgers, a 20-year veteran of the Clark County Sheriff's Office in Ohio, faced backlash for social media posts stating he would not assist Democrats or those who voted for Kamala Harris, demanding proof of voting before providing aid. Rodgers attributed his 'out of character' actions to side effects from prescribed sleep aids, claiming no recollection of making the posts. Despite the controversy, he remains on duty with only a written reprimand for violating the department's social media policy. The Sheriff's Office distanced itself from Rodgers' comments, emphasizing they do not reflect its mission or service delivery to the community. The incident has sparked significant public outrage, with calls for the department to work harder to regain public trust.
