    "Hope some old lady loses control of her car in that lot," Brian Valenti, a 23-year veteran of the Coconut Creek Police Department, wrote under a photo of David Hogg.https://usat.ly/2xnnYPN

        He should be fired. Not suspended, not “on leave”. Fired. His JOB is protect the community. The ENTIRE community—whether he agrees politically with the members of that community or not.

        I bet Brian Valenti claims he is a Christian, follows the path of Jesus. Time for him to be fired, not put on a paid vacation.

        It's sad that grown adults can't control themselves enough not to twist off on high school kids for exercising their constitutional rights, but it's downright dangerous and scary that a police officer can't.

        Expressing homicidal wishes about people exercising their constititional rights peacefully should disqualify you from public service

        This man should be fired. How could you ever again trust a cop with a gun when he publicly wishes death to innocent children? No apology erases the evil intent of his comment.

        Abe Lincoln said (paraphrasing)...no foreign power will destroy this country we will do it ourselves. We hit a new low everyday we will self implode, I'm glad I am old I will hate to be in my 20s growing up in #Trump s America.

        He should no longer be allowed to handles fire arms in his job or personal life. Anyone who would wish harm on children are unfit to carry a weapon

        GOADING someone into a violent action which I am certain is not part of his job description. Psych evals on all police & fire the sociopaths, mandate mental health/Trauma informed care counseling for thd rest. #CHILDRENSHUMANRIGHTS

        Also an insult to begin with "some old lady" when everyone knows elderly men are the ones more likely to be accident prone. So Valenti insults both David and elderly women.
