An Oregon State Trooper is on administrative leave and officials have apologized after coffee shop owners say the trooper used profanity and scoffed at the state's mask mandate when he and other officers were asked to wear one.

"Oregon State Police Troopers are not above the law and this conduct is being immediately addressed," Travis Hampton, Superintendent of the Oregon State Police, said in a statement emailed to CNN.On Wednesday, four Oregon State Troopers entered a Corvallis coffee shop without wearing face masks despite the statewide mandate issued by Gov.

on July 1 and sat down in the shop with no masks after purchasing beverages."We were aware of the divisive climate during this time and the fact that face coverings have become a politicized issue so we expected that our employees may receive some backlash from customers regarding this new policy," the statement from the owners said.

Now do this guy:

Fire the State Trooper! No pension, no salary,nothing!!

I am tried of police apologizing! It is not how they really feel.

At least he didn’t put the store owner in a lethal choke hold. babysteps

DefundPolice This is not who we think they should be, but it is who they are. Entitled jackass bullies. My rights don't end just because you're in uniform.

It’s a question of moral character. This is the kind of men they hire. Reprimanded, big deal, they don’t care.

There's no law for them, so they feel they can disrespect and do as they wish. They have been targeting these restaurants lately.

We know they think they’re above the law, but above the virus too? The god complex is real...

I bet this guy enforces seatbelt laws the s.o.b.

Meaning, he’s on paid vacation 🙄

What an embarrassment. The officers that are sworn to “protect and serve” are actually putting people’s lives at risk with their ignorance. Absolute disgrace.

Blk_Intellect In my line of work I am sometimes asked to hire police, which I explain is a trick bag I can end up with the 67-75% of decent and dedicated police or the remaining bad apples that think the law applies to everybody but them ...

Surprised no one is backing the officer and saying he doesn't have to wear a mask. That would be a double standard, as those who would say that would be hypocrites

HERE'S THE THING: IF YOU ARE WEARING A MASK YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET SICK, PEOPLE AT RISK FOR GETTING SICK ARE THE ONES WHO DO NOT WEAR ONE.... SO IF YOU ARE WEARING A MASK, WHY DO YOU CARE? YOU AIN'T GETTING SICK !

Corporate thought police approve of this message.

It's time for USA to abolish police department and replace them with boyscouts and Ace Ventura.

Unbelievable! Any wonder why the curve is still rising?

FFS, even I know if I want to purchase something I better do what the seller wants me to do for the privilege of giving them my money. Or say fuck it I'm going next door. Capitalism rules!!!!

Apscore CNN is right there to destroy anybody that second guesses their agenda

Yall dont wanna wear a mask because it infringes your freedom? Ok. That also means the employees don't have to follow health laws, they shouldn't wash their hands, cook your food correctly. Some of yall might get food poisoning, but its all for freedom.

So, if true, they get paid for being wrong. Gotta love it.

Wow something that I actually agree with for once.

He should be FIRED. Why are these clowns still be paid after such unprofessional behavior?

Oregon, FFS.

Somewhere has got to be a dark ironic joke about officers taking an oath to protect citizens and enforce the law

Mississippi changing its flag isn't the end of Confederate symbols in state flagsThough the Mississippi flag was the last to bear the obvious image of the Confederate battle flag, there are other state flags that contain Confederate symbology that may be a little harder to spot. Like Florida, we have the bars without the stars, but the origins of our flag design come from the stars and bars. The Arkansas flag sure looks a bit Confederate. What about that one? Cancel Culture will never be satisfied.
