Georgia Police Officer Fired for Having Confederate Flag in Her Yard
Roswell Police Department out of Georgia terminated a long time officer after an investigation showed she flew a Confederate flag in the front yard of her home, and was “possibly” parking her patrol car close to it, says a report by WSBTV. According to the report, investigators were made known of the flag when a passerby informed a local pastor that he noticed a police car was parked next to a Confederate flag outside of a home. The pastor then told Roswell Police Chief Rusty Grant during a community meeting, and Sgt. Silvia Cotriss was fired after an investigation. During the investigation, Cotriss told investigators that she “didn’t see anything wrong with it” and “was unaware the flag had been adopted by neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups.” The flag is visible in a Google Earth search of the home’s address, which investigators confirmed. Cotriss received a termination letter, which reasoned that she had been “engaging in conduct on or off duty, which has a tendency to destroy public respect for the employee, or the department, or destroys confidence.” “I was shocked at her obliviousness regarding the confederate flag,” Pastor Lee Jenkins, of Eagles Nest Church, told WSBTV. Jenkins, who alerted Roswell PD Chief Grant, is proud of

I believe there’s a chance he violated the law with what he said, inviting a cyber-attack of Russia, a dictator what has violated all of our principles of liberty and freedom in Russia. The notion that he would invite a foreign nation to conduct an attack against our country it’s beyond the pale and I believe it violates the Logan Act and he should be investigated for that. I don’t think it was a joke at all. And it certainly wasn’t a joke when he said he’d pull the plug on NATO if he were president. And, by the way, that had Putin dancing in the halls. Putin is excited about Donald Trump being president of the United States. That notion make it very happy because he knows he could roll
