Police Officers Ryan White and C.M. Route, Placed on Paid Administrative Leave for Running Background Check on President Obama

First we had nosy contractors prying into the passport files of President Obama, John McCain and Hillary Clinton, now we have some cops in the news again, for all the wrong reasons. Police officers Ryan White and C.M. Route have been placed on  paid administrative leave after an investigation revealed they ran a background check on  President Barack Obama.  The men were identified by a representative for the DeKalb County CEO’s office.  I cannot recall every hearing that police officers did a background check on President George W. Bush. It is pathetic the lengths some people are going to smear POTUS, Barack Obama. Shameful.

According to WSB-TV, officials said the president's name was typed into a computer inside a DeKalb County police car on July 20 and ran through the National Crime Information Center. Of course, these idiots just didn't figure out that the Secret Service would realize what was going on. After all, this isn't an Average Joe's file they are snooping in, it's the president of the United States.

A representative said both officers have been with the department less than five years.A representative said one of the officers denied involvement. An official investigation is being conducted by the DeKalb County Police Department’s Internal Affairs division. There was no reason for these men to run a background check on the president. They shouldn't be placed on paid administrative leave. They should be fired for being just plain stupid.
