Deputy AG Under Review After 'Live Ammunition' Tweet

Source: WRTV

INDIANAPOLIS -- A deputy in the Indiana Attorney General's Office faces an internal review over online comments he made concerning protesters at the Wisconsin Legislature.

Mother Jones, a political website, tweeted Saturday "Sources in Madison say riot police have been ordered to clear protesters from capitol at 2 am," to which Deputy Attorney General Jeff Cox responded using his personal account, "Use live ammunition."
....
A statement from the Indiana Attorney General's Office said Cox's comments were inflammatory and that the office doesn't condone them.

"We do not condone any comments that would threaten or imply violence or intimidation toward anyone," part of the statement read. "Civility and courtesy toward all constituents is very important to this agency. We take this matter very seriously."

Anything less is a cop-out.

Q: Did you tweet that?

A: Yes.

Response: Clean out your desk. This security officer will accompany you.

Q: Did you tweet that?

A: Yes

Response: "Well, I loved it BTW, but the god damn liberal media has got a hold of it so.... we're going to have to liquidate you now. Sorry guy, just business."

I almost wrote that he should resign, but upon a few seconds consideration I changed my mind.

He should not be given the chance to resign.

Advocating violence against citizens peacefully expressing their constitutionally protected rights is scary.

The above action by a government official flirts with treason.

FIRE the nutball who wants to use live ammunition against peaceful American citizens.

More than 70,000 protesting in Madison for over a week with NO arrests. Pure DEMOCRACY in action.

And some two-bit punk with a government job thinks live ammunition should be used against them???

Perhaps they should fire him on the spot. Show as much respect for his due process rights as he showed for ours.

First it was the homophobic MI AG, now this? Someone needs to do us all a favor, take away their crack pipes and hand them a blunt.

Mr.Cox is no longer employed by the state AG.
