KLFY says the Kaplan police officer Steven Aucoin made the comment in a live feed for the governor’s Friday press conference.
Chief of Police, Joshua Hardy, slammed Aucoin, saying this behavior is not tolerated within the department and Aucoin was fired after an investigation of the entire thread.
However, he argued that Aucoin’s comments could’ve been a misunderstanding because of how Facebook works.
Chief Hardy explained, “There were some comments that were further up that was not suitable for a police officer to put up on Facebook.”
According to screenshots taken by a Facebook user of the comments, Aucoin posted other comments like, “LOL you people have no clue you think your pathetic existence is meaningful.
