Sam Koivisto, a 26-year-old officer of the Jacksonville, Florida police force resigined last week after commenting to coworkers: "If an order was given to kill Obama or something, then I wouldn't mind being the guy."
Kovisto told the Florida Times-Union it was a throwaway comment that had been taken out of context, but according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, the President is not the only victim of Koivisto's ire; referring to the victims of Hurricane Sandy who supported Obama, he reportedly said he didn't care if a nuclear explosion "killed them all".
