Not sure why this person still has a job, but anyway.

[MichMary]

1. Seriously? OMG!!

Resignation in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1!

[rpannier]

16. You left out

"I apologize to anyone who is offended and these do not reflect the person I am."
A common defense I see more and more. Probably also include some kind of needs to spend time with family, respect his privacy and rededication of life to Jesus

[vlyons]

2. Sieg Heil

need I say more?

[3Hotdogs]

3. If his position is elected and it is a Red state,

that would be why he still has a job.

[SoCalNative]

8. It's southern California (though a red-ish area)

but not an elected position.

And he's just been placed on leave

4. San Bernardino DA Suspends Prosecutor Amid Probe Of Social Media Posts

This idiot needs to be fired https://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/san-bernardino-da-suspends-prosecutor-amid-probe-of-social-media-posts

The San Bernardino County District Attorney Michael Ramos suspended a top prosecutor after a report on his racist and sexist social media postings.

“On June 28, 2018, we received information regarding negative comments posted online by one of our prosecutors,” Ramos said in a statement. “At that time, we took immediate steps to initiate a personnel investigation.”

The statement added: “Deputy District Attorney Michael Selyem will be on administrative leave pending the conclusion of the formal investigation which could result in disciplinary action leading up to termination.”

As reported by The San Bernardino Sun, Selyem, who the paper identified as the lead hard-core gang prosecutor in the DA’s office, said in a Facebook comment referring to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA): “Being a loud-mouthed c#nt in the ghetto you would think someone would have shot this bitch by now …”

In another instance, he said of the victim of a police shooting: “That s—bag got exactly what he deserved. … You reap what you sow.”

5. He needs to be fired immediately!! Waters needs secret Service protection. yes. she. does.

[BigmanPigman]

7. Firing him ASAP is too good for him.

He should be locked up for threatening a govt official with death.

[Augiedog]

19. This should lead to his prosecution not just an administrative punishment. He needs to be identified

legally as a felon.

[vsrazdem]

6. The FBI and Secret Service should be on his doorstep right now peppering him with questions.

[dhill926]

9. beside the fact he actually said this shit...

what amazes me, is that the asshole thought it was ok to publicly utter such bile. Another trump enabled asshole methinks...

[Nitram]

10. Clearly, loving Trump is a mental disease.

[roamer65]

17. Yes, it is. They need to be "deprogrammed".

[procon]

11. Why does he still have a license to practice law?

As an officer of the court he has an obligation to uphold the law, clearly he has chosen the wrong profession.

[Cryptoad]

12. looking for a Judgeship!!!!!!

[magicarpet]

13. If the people he prosecutes have tan or brown or black skin.

Shouldn't those cases be carefully reviewed. This man should not be in a court room practicing law. Maybe a Nazi rally with swastikas would be more to his liking. Guy has lots of gaul thinking that posting this Fascist crap was okay.

[pecosbob]

14. Sounds like time for a new statute

Inciting Terroristic Acts of Violence

[rpannier]

15. I can not imaging professionals talking of elected officials like this pre-Trump. damn!!

You'd be surprised then
Go back 50, 100 years or more and you'd find it
My grandfather (born in 1905) told stories of some of the things that elected officials and other 'professionals' said about one another and it wasn''t pretty and sometimes it was threatening

[Augiedog]

18. And he still has a job? When law enforcement officers start calling for the murder of anyone

they are outlaws and require being arrested, tried by a jury of their peers and put in appropriate prisons. Where they can be cell hall bitches for a few years . He looks like he will need a lot of Vaseline.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Not imagination that tRump&Republicons have encouraged racists & sexists to crawl out from under. nt

[beachbum bob]

21. I don't know why he still has a job, like wtf is wrong with people?

[C Moon]

22. He should be prosecuted!

[Mz Pip]

23. Not sure he can be fired

But maybe he can be demoted to traffic court.

[Initech]

24. So guess those calls for #Civility didn't last long did they?
