A Springfield Cop Mocked Victims of the Charlottesville Car Attack on Facebook

“Love this,” officer Conrad Lariviere wrote.

Springfield Police officer Conrad Lariviere, who appeared to laugh at the victims of the attack on social media.
“Hahahaha love this,” Lariviere wrote in a since-deleted Facebook comment below a post about the incident by conservative writer Ben Shapiro, which was obtained and published by the site MassLive, “maybe people shouldn’t block roads.”
When another commenter criticized him and asked, “How many times has a car plowed into you?” he replied, “Actually [redacted] I’ve been hit by ashitbag [sic] with warrants but who cares right you ignorant brat live in a fantasy land with the rest of America while I deal With the real danger.”
Lariviere, who spoke with MassLive, has walked back his comments. “Never would I want someone to get murdered. I am not a racist and don’t believe in what any of those protesters are doing,” he said in an interview. “I’m a good man who made a stupid comment and would just like to be left alone.”
Springfield Police confirmed their force includes a police officer by that name and are now investigating.

Lariviere also wrote, apparently responding to someone who referred to the driver as a “Nazi,” a comment asking “how do you know he was a nazi scumbag? Stop being part of the problem.”

Wow, what a scumbag. I don't know if it's an offense he can be fired for, but I sure hope he is. I understand the frustration of being in traffic and having marching people blocking. But to mock the death, or to enjoy it? Hopefully he'll be a plain old citizen before long, but I doubt it.

I admit that when I first heard the news break on the car attack I assumed the masked antifa tough guys were the target and my first thought was that he could have done better. If you go looking for trouble I won't feel sorry for you when you find it but then the next day I read that he had attacked non-combatants and that changed my view a little bit.
