Rispoli&#8217;s comment implied that Ocasio-Cortez should be shot while also taking note of her former job as a bartender.<br />

<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8216;I think he just got caught up in the moment. This wasn&#8217;t even a real news article.&#8217;<br />
Lawson noted that both officers worked as court security and never served as patrolmen.<br />
Now the police chief said he wants the rest of his department to receive social media training.<br />
The threatening post, first reported on by <a class="class" href="https://www.nola.com/news/crime_police/article_a206330a-aa5c-11e9-a2da-e7a8c6248a10.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">NOLA.com</a>, was removed on Friday. Rispoli deleted his Facebook account over the weekend.<br />
The former officer wrote the comments alongside a fake article he shared about Ocasio-Cortez that was written by satirical website Taters Gonna Tate.<br />
The story falsely quoted Ocasio-Cortez and her thoughts on the budget, including that soldiers get paid to much.<br />

Rispoli had worked for the Greta Police Department since 2005 prior to his termination.<br />
Lawson previously said the officer&#8217;s post appeared to violate his department&#8217;s social media policy.<br />
&#8216;Whether you agree or disagree with the message of these elected officials and how frustrated you may or may not get, this certainly is not the type of thing that a public servant should be posting,&#8217; the police chief said over the weekend.</p>

Ocasio-Cortez is one of a group of four outspoken liberal menders of the US House of Reps, referred to as &#8216;The Squad. Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts are among the others.<br />
The Congresswomen who have faced criticism and threats since they were elected this year.<br />
The drama surrounding Rispoli comes soon after President Donald Trump made remarks about the four Congresswomen, saying they should &#8216;go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came&#8217;.</p>
