Ohio Sheriff’s Lieutenant Faces Backlash for Vowing Not to Protect Democrats

In a shocking series of social media posts, John Rodgers, a 20-year veteran of the Clark County Sheriff's Office in Ohio, has sparked widespread outrage by stating that he would not protect individuals who voted for Democrats, specifically mentioning those who voted for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Rodgers’ remarks have been met with severe criticism and calls for his resignation. The posts implied that he would use voter records to determine how to respond to emergency calls, which many have interpreted as a threat and a clear violation of his oath to serve and protect all members of the community regardless of their political affiliations.

The controversy has drawn attention from various media outlets and the public, highlighting concerns about partisan bias in law enforcement and the potential erosion of public trust in law enforcement agencies. Many have condemned Rodgers’ statements, arguing that they undermine the fundamental principles of impartial service and equal protection under the law.

The Clark County Sheriff’s Office has yet to issue an official statement on the matter, but the incident is likely to prompt an internal investigation and potential disciplinary action against Rodgers.
