Metro Police are Wrong

A Las Vegas Metro police officer was transferred out of SWAT because of comments on Facebook.
From the LVRJ:
A heat-of-the-moment comment in the aftermath of the standoff at Cliven Bundy’s ranch has cost two Las Vegas SWAT officers their jobs on the elite unit.
The officers were booted back to patrol after a Metro sniper posted an inflammatory comment about Bundy’s militant supporters on social media, the Review-Journal has learned.
Officer Russell Laws, 41, took to Facebook just hours after the April 12 standoff between federal and local officers and armed protesters ended without bloodshed.
A Bundy supporter in a public Facebook thread posted a news photo of a militia member aiming a rifle at officers.
Laws replied that police had their guns trained on Bundy’s people, too.
“I just wish you could see how big that guy prone with the rifles head was in the scope of the (police) Snipers .308 …. don’t worry, he wouldn’t have have felt a thing!” Laws posted.
Laws, a SWAT sniper since 2009, was not at the standoff, but it didn’t take long for Bundy’s supporters to look at his Facebook profile and determine he was a Metro cop.
“I have a .308 with a 20x too, buddy. I’m not worried about some fat, oath breaking cooterville SWAT sniper,” replied J.L. Bourne, an author of zombie apocalypse books and a former military officer.
“I’m going to archive this, and screen capture everything in case their names ever come up in a police brutality case.”
Bourne provided the Review-Journal a screenshot of the Facebook post.  http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/bundy-blm/officers-kicked-swat-after-bundy-comment
What the cop said was true and if anything, it should show that the cops were ready for anything that could have happened if someone fired a shot at the cops.
But the Metro administrators apparently have decided that the truth is not as important as appearance.
