Brimfield, Ohio police chief David Oliver has become an online sensation following the knife attack at a school in Pennsylvania this week.
On his Facebook page, Oliver said he was sending thoughts and prayers to the community, an innocuous enough post. But many of his readers used it to do what online readers often do: have the same argument they had yesterday and the day before. The used the event to further their own agenda — political and otherwise.
That’s was enough for the chief…
“I’m more concerned about kids dying than I am about who has a D or an R at the end of their name,” he said.
Oliver’s department serves only about 10,000 people. But his department has 150,000 friends on Facebook.
