[su_upd] Cop Who Shoved CNN’s Don Lemon Fired For Oath Keepers Rant Vid

Posted by | August 22, 2014 21:38 | Filed under: Media/Show Business News Behaving Badly Top Stories


Earlier today, we tipped you off to a video of Ferguson cop and retired Army  Sgt. Major Dan Page ranting for a full hour at an Oath Keepers meeting that our friend Karoli at Crooks and Liars and DU user 951-Riverside had discovered online.

Well, looks like Rant Boy’s career is over thanks to a number of progressive and liberal blogs publicizing the rambling tirade documented on Youtube.

After Don Lemon got up this morning and saw his email and tweets, he called the St. Louis County Police Chief about Dan Page’s hour-long rant at an Oathkeepers meeting. Lemon had a particular interest in this, since that’s the same officer who shoved him like garbage on the street during the protests in Ferguson.

Mr. Page has now been relieved of duty and ordered into psychological counseling.

Don’t let the door hitcha etc. …

    Hold on, Dave, Officer Crazypants hasn’t been “fired,” he’s just been suspended pending a review by the Internal Affairs unit, which process will begin Monday. I’d imagine it’ll be a couple weeks before they make any determination, which may well include termination, but still, it’s a bit early for the munchkins to start singing.

    And though CNN speculates idly that the review process may well include a psychological evaluation, that hardly constitutes “being ordered into psychological counseling,” as Karoli so colorfully put it in the Crooks and Liars piece.

    Yes, you should change the headline and some of the text.
