The police are never sending their best.

Ashland County Sheriff Kurt Schneider said an investigation is underway after buttons that contained comments about President Trump, such as “Is he dead yet” and “One day, we will wake up to his obituary” were on display at the “Ashland County Democrats” booth at the Ashland County Fair on Thursday.

“I will be contacting the U.S. Secret Service tomorrow,” Sheriff Schneider told the FOX 8 I-Team. “Violence shouldn’t be tolerated in any way, in any venue in any jurisdiction in the United States and it certainly won’t be tolerated here in Ashland County.”

God! So violent. We’re really going to forget that Trump literally told people to beat others up?

This guy is so fucking dumb.

Neither of those quoted buttons is violent, nor do they call for violence.

He's not dumb; he's a fascist. He's being a lying tyrannical hypocrite on purpose and knows exactly what he's doing.

Stop underestimating the enemy.

"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?"

Neither will free speech apparently.

Where can I get some of those buttons? The obituary one sounds great.

These people are such fucking bitches, I swear. Piss baby bitches.

These fuckers routinely said so much worse about Obama.

This is hilarious because I was just there yesterday and you could tell the cops were looking for people.

It was also crazy to see just how many cops were there in general. It was like all of the ashland County sheriff's were there patrolling and guarding all the entrances/exits.

Why do we need an army to "protect" what's supposed to be a fun/safe space???
