Adams County sergeant calls Colorado voters "stupid" after sheriff loses re-election

ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. -- There were harsh insults unleashed by the man who represents the defeated Adams County Sheriff about the man who will soon take over that office.


Current Sheriff Mike McIntosh, a Republican, is out and his Democratic challenger Rick Reigenborn is in.


That clearly didn"t sit well with department spokesman Jim Morgen, who posted angry, profanity laced comments on a friend’s Facebook page saying voters who chose Reigenborn are “stupid.”


"I’m so disgusted with Colorado and specifically Adams County voters that could only see a d. It makes me completely sick that some complete dumb ass will win as sheriff with no ability only and I mean only because he has a d in front of his name.” Morgen wrote, ”23 years of service down the drain with only retiring as an option."


Another vulgar comment strongly insults the sheriff-elect"s intelligence.


The posts have since been deleted. Both McIntosh and Reigenborn shared strong opinions with FOX31.


Reigenborn said, “I"m extremely disappointed that someone at the sheriff"s office that"s a sergeant and a PIO would make those comments. There are better avenues to express your opinion without going to that far extreme.”


The sharpest criticism of Morgen’s comments came from his own boss, Sheriff McIntosh, who told FOX31, “I can tell you that I think that it was inappropriate and it was a bonehead move on his part and obviously does not reflect who we are as an agency.”


Morgen did not violate department social media policy since his post did not appear on an official page.


He will not be disciplined, but will be counseled by the staff.


Sheriff McIntosh said he had already immediately reached out to the sheriff-elect and congratulated him on his success. He pledges  to work as hard as he can to make the upcoming transition a smooth one.


Reigenborn was with the Adams County Sheriff"s Office from 1991 to 2015 and currently is a detective with the Mountain View Police Department.

"Johnny English Strikes Again" for more family-friendly fun

When spy movies were a big thing back in the 1960s, occasionally someone would try to spoof the genre. This almost never worked, except for the TV series “Get Smart,” which had Mel Brooks as its guiding force. Maybe the spy satire needs time, because it wasn’t until the “Austin Powers” series, and two “OSS 117” films (starring “The Artist” Oscar-winner Jean Dujardin), that the 1960s spy movie got its proper send-up. Right in the midst of all that was Johnny English, the British secret agent played by Rowan Atkinson. In “Johnny English” (2003) and “Johnny English Reborn” (2011), Atkinson played a hapless Bond-wannabe who tried to stay relevant during the British Empire’s decline, but could barely stay out of his own way. Those movies were built around Atkinson (still best known as the accident-prone Mr. Bean), whose willingness to fall out of windows and slide down staircases while clad in a suit of armor remains undiminished in “Johnny English Strikes Again.” As this sequel begins, Jo

What can we learn from the people Trump has pardoned so far?

T he presidential pardon has never been a particularly fair or impartial instrument of government – it’s effectively circumventing the judicial system at the whim of whoever is in office. Democratic and Republican presidents have offered pardons to those on their side of key issues, and in some cases (Bill Clinton’s pardon of former Democratic congressman Mel Reynolds on federal fraud charges, for example) pardons have been given to political allies with little wider moral justification. Some presidents, including George W Bush and Barack Obama, have relied more on the pardon attorney’s office to recommend who to grant clemency to and have been less personally involved, although the pardons given still tend to reflect the sitting president’s wider politics. On Wednesday, Trump commuted the sentence of Alice Johnson, a 63-year-old great-grandmother who has spent over 20 years in prison for non-violent drug crimes. It’s the sort of pardon decision previous presidents might well have mad
