Anti-Woman police chief will keep his job, issues non-apology through town council member

This afternoon, Pike Bay Township officials said that Police Chief Zeb Hemsworth won't lose his job for calling a pro-choice woman a "piece of shit scum sucking baby killing bitch" on Facebook... prompting us to wonder what it takes to lose your job up there.

In comments made to KSTP on Hemsworth's behalf, Township Clerk Matt Erickson said Hemsworth, who has no previous disciplinary record, "is still assigned to active duty. Any disciplinary measures necessary will be handled internally."

"Officer Hemsworth apologizes for his recent Facebook posting and regrets the insensitivity of the words he chose to use," said Township [Clerk] Matt Erickson on behalf of the police chief.

Erickson said, "Township officials have investigated the allegations and it was confirmed the event took place while Officer Hemsworth was off-duty and with the use of his personal cell phone."

This is so far from OK. I would hate to be a woman in his county.
