A Marion County, Florida, sheriff's deputy received a one-day suspension for using a police database to find the identity of a woman dating her ex-boyfriend. She was suspended an additional two days after a video was shared on Facebook of her attacking another woman at a party. The woman she attacked was reportedly a friend of a woman her ex-boyfriend was dating.

    A crazy woman that carries a gun, then again, it's Florida.

      I'm making over $7k a month working component time. I saved hearing other people inform me how lots cash they could make online so I decided to look at it. Well, it turned into all proper and has definitely modified my life.

      In Florida, they're all crazy and half of them are armed.

  2. Chumby   2 years ago

    The linked article did not include photos of the female deputy sheriff, the woman now dating her ex-boyfriend, or that woman’s female friend making it difficult to pick sides here.

    1. mad.casual   2 years ago

      You should clarify that you need the pics to know everyone's skin color. Otherwise, it comes off as kind of sexist.

      1. Chumby   2 years ago

        It isn’t a skin color issue. I’m basing my allegiance over which is the most attractive. Tiebreaker will go to the current girlfriend given that the sheriff’s deputy is a bit crazy.

        1. Don't look at me!   2 years ago

          All chicks be crazy.

        2. Agammamon   2 years ago

          Exactly. Is the cop hot enough to forgive? Or is the new piece hot enough to justify dumping the cop?

          1. Ersatz   2 years ago

            In any story that I really couldn't care much about that's all it really comes down to.

  3. Fist of Etiquette   2 years ago

    Unnamed.

    Suspended, because why fire someone just for abusing their power and assaulting people?

    1. The Margrave of Azilia   2 years ago (edited)

      But it was a *three day* suspension!

      Of course, a "civilian" might have faced firing and a gun-confiscation order, but that's because civilians lack the benefit of professional standards.

      1. Livemike   2 years ago

        "But it was a *three day* suspension!"
        Harsh, but fair.

    2. sarcasmic   2 years ago

      Cops are trained to have zero tolerance for noncompliance, which means they can be fired for failing to assault anyone who doesn't immediately obey their every whim (that's why any talk of de-escalation is a joke - it goes against the very core of their training).

      Because of that they can't help but to assault people when out of uniform. It's not their fault.

      1. Chumby   2 years ago

        Do you think she is talented at handling a nightstick?

        1. sarcasmic   2 years ago (edited)

          Ask the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

        Get a grip.

  5. Earth-based Human Skeptic   2 years ago

    Lucky she was only suspended. Illegal use of government resources for personal vendetta is restricted to elite level senior officials.

  6. Don't look at me!   2 years ago

    Your information in government databases is perfectly safe.

    Florida Woman...

    1. Brandybuck   2 years ago

      Florida cop, Florida cop
      Doing the things that gotta stop
      What's she like? It's not important
      Florida cop

    if you love something set it free, stalk it and attack everyone around it.

  9. LIBertrans   2 years ago

    Imagine trying to be an ugly jackbooted minion of the looter kleptocracy AND attractive to the opposite sex? This Brickbat reveals maybe a little too much about the girl-bullying redneck Trumpanzees with nothing better to do than befoul Reason's website with truculent superstious ignorance.

    1. TheReEncogitationer   2 years ago

      In this case, the girl was the bully, Old Fart Dummy!
