No charges for ex-St. Paul officer who wrote protester post

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — No charges will be brought against a former St. Paul police officer who wrote a social media post urging drivers to run over people protesting on Martin Luther King Jr. Day against killings by police, the city's prosecutor said.

St. Paul City Attorney Samuel Clark said Friday that "there is no path to a criminal case" against Jeff Rothecker. The former sergeant resigned from the Police Department in February, a month after his post on Facebook.

Community members had pushed for Rothecker to be criminally charged. He had been on paid administrative leave, and his resignation halted any discipline he could have faced.

I am guessing that he was not charged because words on a screen can only do so much if anything. Its a person's choice of action, not words, that will tell the complete story.

God bless you always!!!

He resigned, which was appropriate. No officer of the law should encourage that kind of behavior. Had he not resigned, he would probably have been fired. Given the bullshit that Rambot has posted on other subjects, he is in no position to throw stones.
