St. Louis County Police Officer suspended over ugly rant
Officer Dan Page was seen on CNN pushing Don Lemon during protests in Ferguson. But it is a different video of Officer Page that led to him being relieved of duty. A speech he made several months ago is filled with ugly statements about gays, affirmative action, women, and President Obama. Don Lemon looks at some of the most incendiary statements.
Anderson looks at ugly comments Officer Page made about President Obama and discussed the fallout with former federal prosecutor Sunny Hostin, criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos, and George Zimmerman's former attorney, Mark O'Mara.

I thought we had something called "freedom of speech" in this country? You may not like what he is saying, but I think he has a right to say it.

You guys are idiots... another hit piece, and the reason that the main stream press is becoming irrelevant.
WOW 360 – If the officers past is worth all this space and energy on your part, we await Mike Brown's past to be next?
Or is this another of your many DOUBLE STANDARDS?
"Teach our Children Well? Making Brown into Hero insures HATRED? No intelligent HUMAN BEING would HONOR STRONGARM THIEF! SAD THUGGERY #1"
Shove tiny man, rob, decide which law to follow, truth not allowed on both sides, I'm Mike Brown America's Media's Newest Hero join protest for me??
SAD TRUTH 4 All- If only Mike Brown had respect for others & Law & Order he'd be alive today and Ferguson not burned-Reap what you sow in this life?
America must get rid of it's racism now. It is ugly and demonic - operating in the same vein as Isis in the viewpoint of non-racist black America. These are the ones who know the truth and are not afraid to speak it. What is troubling that this officer said, and unfortunately did not get any mention from the anchors perhaps by oversight, is that just before he dug deeper into his inflammatory comments he said 'This always gets me in trouble when I say this but I'm going to say it anyway...' which suggests the Governor, police chief, mayor or whomever his superiors, knows about this officer's killer views and only because it is now being discussed in the media that they are willing to do anything about it.
You didn't even listen to this guy in context did you? This is a hit piece to sway useful idiots that don't do much thinking....
The ONLY issue I have with this cop was his behavior when on duty. He seems to have no respect for his oath or the Constitution.
