St. Louis County police officer Dan Page Preaches treason and hate
Recently, police accosted CNN reporter Don Lemon as he was filming live in Ferguson Missouri. “I think we’re about to be arrested because we’re standing on the sidewalk,” Lemon told viewers as an officer began to push him and the rest of the crowd back with arms outstretched.
Lemon attempted to ask why they were being moved, as they had been gathered at that spot for hours–but the officer could not be bothered to answer. “Now you see why people are so upset here, because we have been here all day. They moved us here and told us this is our location and now they’re doing the same thing to the people, so we’re on national television, so imagine what they’re doing to people where you don’t see on national television, the people who don’t have a voice like we do,” Lemon explained.
This particular officer’s name is Dan Page. Page, a former Green Beret, is a Vietnam Veteran who retired from the military in 2012 and then joined the police force. There is an interesting video of Page speaking to a group of right-wing extremists, and what he had to say reveals a lot about the police handling the Ferguson protests.
In his hour-long racist, birther rant, Sgt. Major Dan Page (Ret.) shared his insight with a crowd of “patriots.”
Page spent an hour whining about black people, the LGBT community, FEMA camps, President Obama’s and birth certificate, and an evil plot to institute martial law and rewrite the Constitution. Here are some highlights:
•About a minute in, the hate already begins to show as he explains that all men are created equal. “That does not mean affirmative action,” he says.
•At around 1:20, he says “We’re all equal. God does not respect persons–so we have no business passing hate crime laws–NONE–because we’re setting aside a group of people special. We got a Supreme Court out of control with the laws on sodomy and that’s what they are. The word gay just means happy. It does not mean ‘wrong.’
•At around 3:20, he explains that the Bible is the foundation for the Constitution, adding, “I don’t know what them black little perverts don’t understand down there. But they need me to talk to them. I’ll square them away for you. Take me about a minute.”
•At around 15:40, he explains that “There are four sodomites on the Surpreme Court.”
•At about 21:30, he explains to the crowd that the public school system is going to place our children in camps, rarely allowing them to return home, as they train our kids to spy on us.
•He explains that President Obama is an illegal alien from Kenya at around 26:40. “Now this here is Kenya. I had my own airplane…” He says that he visited because his “undocumented President” is from there. “So I flew to Africa and I went to our undocumented President’s home. He was born in Kenya.
•31 minutes into his rant, he lets his Islamophobia fly. “Do you know how the Muslims take care of you? They cut your head off. Obama is allowing hundreds of thousands of Muslims to come in ever week…Muslims are passive until they gain parity with you or they exceed you in numbers–and they will kill you.”
•At 35:50, he explains that there is “no such thing as an Executive Order.” He says that he left the military because “I’m not going to obey an undocumented President.” He tells the crowd he took two years early retirement because he did not want to obey Obama’s orders.
•At 51:45, he says that “The EBT cards are going to shut down. Can you imagine what’s going to happen to North St. Louis and St. Louis County when the EBT cards go down? When the ATM machines don’t work?” Rioting, of course! “When the inner cities start to ignite, people are going to start killing people they don’t like.”
At the end, he was presented with an Oathkeepers badge. “Wouldn’t that look good on his St. Louis County police uniform?” the man asked as he presented the badge.
This is the sort of person interacting with the largely African-American protesters in Ferguson, MO.
Think about that.
Officer Page suspended and ordered to take a psychiatric exam
During the protests that have arisen from this debacle, a St. Louis County police officer roughly shoved CNN reporter Don Lemon and a crowd of protesters back from the spot on which they stood for hours–and that man turned out to be a bigger asshat than revealed simply by his conduct regarding the press and protesters. It turns out he firmly believes that President Obama was born in Kenya, gays and women are infiltrating the armed forces, at least four Supreme Court Justices are “sodomites,” and any laws aimed at creating equality are evil–Oh, and he looooooooooves to kill people!
Officer Dan Page of the St. Louis County PD has not fared quite as well as Wilson once his bigotry was laid bare via the discovery of a video of his speech at an Oath Keepers meeting. “I flew to Africa, right there, and I went to our undocumented president’s home,” Page said in the video. “He was born in Kenya.” He told the group that he loves his Jesus, but he also loves to kill–something that did not sit well with his superiors.
“I personally believe in Jesus Christ as my lord and savior, but I’m also a killer,” Page told the “patriots” in the crowd. “I’ve killed a lot. And if I need to, I’ll kill a whole bunch more. If you don’t want to get killed, don’t show up in front of me. I have no problems with it. God did not raise me to be a coward.”
Page has been suspended and ordered to take a psychiatric exam, and County Police Chief Jon Belmar issued a public apology “to anybody that was offended” by Page’s comments. “He does not represent the rank-and-file of St. Louis County Police Department,” Belmar told Don Lemon in an interview on Friday.

Guess the department felt that his "I’ll kill a whole bunch more" comment was a bit much.
Killing of law enforcement officeers
Does anyone remember Detective Melvin
Santiago? He was a Jersey City police officer
who was shot to death just a month ago, on July
13th. Santiago was white. His killer,
Lawrence Campbell, was black. Does anyone
recall Obama appearing before national
television and calling for justice for Officer
Santiago's family? Does anyone recall Eric
Holder (what a joke he is) rushing to Jersey City to see that justice was done?
How about Officer Jeffrey Westerfield. He was a
Gary, Indiana police officer who was shot to
death last month on July 6th. Westerfield was
white. His killer, Carl LeEllis Blount, Jr. was
black. Where was Obama? Where was Holder?
Or Officer Perry Renn? He was an Indianapolis,
Indiana police officer who was shot to death
just last month on July 5th, the day before
Officer Westerfield was killed. Officer Renn
was white. His killer, Major Davis, was
black. I don't recall any mention by Obama
about the untimely death of Officer Renn. And,
I doubt that Eric Holder rushed to Indianapolis
to make sure justice was done. Or, maybe I just missed it.
Vermillion Parish Deputy Sheriff Allen Bares was
gunned down by two men just last June 23rd in
Louisiana. Deputy Bares was white. His two
killers, Quintlan Richard and Baylon Taylor,
were black. Was Obama outraged? Did Eric
Holder rush to Louisiana to make sure that the
family of Deputy Bares found justice?
Here in Killeen, TX, Detective Charles
Dinwiddie of the Killeen Police Department was
murdered by Marvin Lewis Guy, a black
male. Officer Dinwiddie was white. This
happened on May 11th, just over two months
ago. I don't even recall seeing anything
about that on the news. Certainly, the white
citizens in Killeen didn't take to the streets
to loot and burn businesses. Again, I don't
recall any mention by Obama or Holder.
Then, there is Officer Kevin Jordan of the
Griffin, Georgia Police Department. He was
gunned down just two months ago on May
31st. Officer Jordan was black. His killer,
Michael Bowman, was white. This was a white man
murdering a black police officer. Where was
Jesse Jackson? Where was "The Reverend" Al
Sharpton? Was there looting and burning on the
streets of Griffin, Georgia? No. In fact, I
don't recall hearing about this one in the news,
as well. Why? You can draw your own conclusions.
Over the past 60 days, there have been five
reported deaths of police officers by gunshot in
the US. Of those, four were white officers who
were murdered by black men. Blacks complain
that white officers threaten black men more
aggressively on the street. You can draw your
own conclusions on that one, as well.
Unhinged Birther Cop Retires With Full Pension
St. Louis County police officer Dan Page, the St. Louis cop who was caught on camera shoving an African-American CNN reporter and engaging in an insane birther rant at an Oath Keepers meeting in which he declared, “I kill everybody,” was suspended after the video surfaced. Now, he will be rewarded for his disgusting actions.
Page has officially retired from the St. Louis police force. The racist, violent “public servant’s” last day on the job was Monday, August 25 (three days after he was suspended), according to Sgt. Colby Dolly, an aid to the St. Louis County Police Chief. Page will be receiving a full pension, despite his actions.
“I flew to Africa, right there, and I went to our undocumented president’s home,” Page said in the video. “He was born in Kenya.” He also told the group that he loves Jesus, but “I’m also a killer.” He explained that, “I’ve killed a lot. And if I need to, I’ll kill a whole bunch more. If you don’t want to get killed, don’t show up in front of me. I have no problems with it. God did not raise me to be a coward.”
“ I will kill again,” he said — which made him the perfect candidate to work the Ferguson protests, where there were numerous instances of law enforcement tear gassing people in their own back yards, making racist remarks, and acting in a manner more befitting of a Klan rally than a peaceful protest.
It is reported that officer Page had refused to take his mandatory psychological when he was suspended. He was told that if he did not follow through with the order he would be terminated. It was at that time that Page opted to retire instead.
Guess he figured he would fail the examine big time. Watching his Oath Keepers rant on YouTube, one can only logically conclude that he is not running on all cylinders.
Another strange thing that should be pointed out. Page retired from the military two years ago as a Sgt. Yet after spending 30 yrs with the St. Louis County PD he only held the rank of Officer. He never even held the rank of Cpl.
Why?
