Reminder, off duty conduct can affect your employment.
The Star Tribune is reporting "Minnesota Correctional Officer on leave after confronting Black Live Matter Protesters with profanity; wife hurled racial slur."
Reading the article it documents that BLM protesters have been repeatedly protesting outside the home of the Washington County prosecutor in charge of the Potter case, attempting to intimidate him into changing his decision.
It appears the CO in question must be a neighbor who is irritated by their behavior. If it's anything like the protests in Hugo, MN with John Thompson and BLM last year, I see why neighbors are mad. Words were exchanged on a couple of occasions and allegedly his wife, not him, used a racial slur. He's now on leave from Stillwater MCF and his wife lost her job at a hair salon after they were doxed.
His employment record, yes it's public, is in the article, good and bad, and his picture, provided by the DOC. The article also points out he and a protester, a former inmate, recognized each other and hugged.
The long and short is this. If you are a public employee, you will be held to a higher standard, even if BLM is attempting to intimidate others who live in your neighborhood.
