Almost exactly a year ago, Anabelle Lima-Taub was in the news for criticizing Rashida Tlaib, saying the congresswoman might become “a martyr and blow up Capitol Hill.”
Cpl. Pablo Lima has been placed on administrative leaving pending the outcome of an internal investigation. Bay Harbor Islands, FL – A veteran law enforcement officer has been placed on administrative leave amid allegations that he violated his department’s social media policy by “liking” social media posts made by people who supported his wife and her political views.
The suspension came on Thursday, just two days after Bay Harbor Islands Police Corporal Pablo Lima submitted an application to become the next chief of his department, the Miami Herald reported.

Now, today, Anbelle Lima-Taub’s husband is facing discipline for “liking” Facebook comments in support of his wife.
The husband of a Hallandale Beach commissioner who was condemned for anti-Muslim comments was placed on administrative leave by the Bay Harbor Islands police department Thursday for social media posts appearing to show support for his wife’s views.
On Jan. 30, 2019, one week after the vote to condemn the Israeli-born Lima-Taub, Pablo Lima shared a story on his Facebook page from WLRN.org titled, “Why A Hallandale Beach Panel Condemned A Commissioner For Anti-Islamic Language.”
Lima proceeded to “like” five comments showing support for Lima-Taub, including multiple comments that appeared to espouse anti-Muslim sentiments. One comment that Lima “liked” included the line: “This [piece of s—] took her oath on the Koran.”
Mr. Lima did not post any comments below the Facebook post himself.
Of course it won’t stop at Facebook “likes”. Any association with a designated offender of sharia law, even a shared race, will be grounds for retaliation in the coming dystopia.
Bay Harbor Islands cop suspended for social media post on wife’s anti-Muslim comments
Miami Herald, January 20, 2020:
The husband of a Hallandale Beach commissioner who was condemned for anti-Muslim comments was placed on administrative leave by the Bay Harbor Islands police department Thursday for social media posts appearing to show support for his wife’s views.
Pablo Lima, a corporal in Bay Harbor Islands and a former vice president of the Miami-Dade police union, submitted an application Tuesday to become the town’s next police chief.
On Thursday morning, after the Miami Herald asked town officials about comments and posts that Lima “liked” on Facebook and Instagram, the department placed him on paid leave and opened an internal affairs investigation.
“The content of the social media posts that were brought to our attention are not consistent with our Town’s values and policies,” Town Manager J.C. Jimenez said in a statement. “Corporal Pablo Lima is currently on administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal affairs investigation. State law prohibits us from discussing details of an open internal affairs investigation.”
Lima did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
In January 2019, the Hallandale Beach City Commission voted 3-2 to condemn Commissioner Anabelle Lima-Taub for a Facebook post saying that Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American woman elected to the U.S. Congress, might become “a martyr and blow up Capitol Hill.”
The post was denounced as hate speech by numerous Muslim and Jewish human rights organizations, but Lima-Taub remained unapologetic, saying Tlaib’s support for boycotting Israel equated her with terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.
The day of the commission vote, dozens of supporters of Lima-Taub held Israeli flags and signs calling Tlaib a terrorist outside Hallandale Beach City Hall. The group included people with a wide range of politics, including those who support Israel and denounce the boycott movement against it, and far-right Internet personality and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer.
On Jan. 30, 2019, one week after the vote to condemn the Israeli-born Lima-Taub, Pablo Lima shared a story on his Facebook page from WLRN.org titled, “Why A Hallandale Beach Panel Condemned A Commissioner For Anti-Islamic Language.”
Lima proceeded to “like” five comments showing support for Lima-Taub, including multiple comments that appeared to espouse anti-Muslim sentiments. One comment that Lima “liked” included the line: “This [piece of s—] took her oath on the Koran.”
“Screw these liberal commisioners and mayor,” the comment said. “When will these politicians grow some cohones and start supporting America and it’s Americans. They talk about [Lima-Taub] being a racist and spewing hate. These [expletive] forget that this muslim [Tlaib] supports the people who flew planes into our NY twin towers and killed over 5000 people and more dying from exposure still 18 years later.”
The comment continued: “This [piece of s—] took her oath on the Koran. She openly hates Jews and talks about how they should all die or be killed. Remind me again why you would not support Lima-Talib [Lima-Taub]?”
Lima also “liked” comments on the post that said: “I applaud her”; “Complete BS….”; and “free speach fk them.”
Another comment that Lima “liked” said: “But Talib [Tlaib] gets to spew her hatred of Jews and others not of the Islamic faith and it’s ok not to defend yourself ? I’m with the commissioner, awaiting the next terrorist plot to open eyes again only when something happens.”
Lima did not post any comments below the Facebook post himself.
The Herald also made Bay Harbor Islands officials aware of an Instagram post by Lima-Taub that was “liked” by Lima’s personal account.
In a post on Sept. 11, 2019, Lima-Taub quoted a statement by U.S. Rep Ilhan Omar — one of the first two Muslim women to serve in Congress, along with Tlaib — that “some people did something” in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
Lima-Taub, using her Instagram account “@theroguecommissioner,” called Omar a “hate monger” and said the United States was “founded on Judeo-Christian values.”
“#NeverForget #911 ‘Some people did something,’ as per America’s vitriolic hate monger, @repilhan!” Lima-Taub wrote. “Those 19 Jihadi terrorists massacred over 3,000 innocent men and women, encroached on our constitutional rights and caused several billion in loss to dollars with the deliberate action to destabilize our economic stability.
“This country was founded on Judeo-Christian values and we must never let the deaths of those who perished on 9/11 be in vain.”
Lima-Taub could not be reached for comment Thursday.
The town manager, mayor and police chief in Bay Harbor Islands declined to comment beyond the manager’s brief statement.
The Bay Harbor Islands police department’s social media policy prohibits any speech that “ridicules, maligns, disparages, or otherwise expresses bias against any gender, race, religion, or any protected class of individuals.”
Officers who violate the policy “shall be subject to discipline, up to and including termination of their employment,” the policy says.
Lima is one of 35 candidates who applied for the Bay Harbor Islands police chief job by the Jan. 15 deadline. The current police chief, Sean Hemingway, is voluntarily leaving his post and is a finalist for the chief position in Monument, Colorado.
According to his résumé, Lima spent over 30 years with the Miami-Dade Police Department, retiring as a lieutenant in 2017. He was the vice president of the Dade County Police Benevolent Association from 2006 to 2018.
Lima has worked as an officer and corporal in Bay Harbor Islands for a year, according to a cover letter he submitted Tuesday.
“Throughout my 38 years of law enforcement experience my reputation has been impeccable!” Lima wrote. “I took the role (and still do!) of conducting myself ethically very seriously.”
Jimenez, the town manager, is responsible for selecting the next police chief. He did not immediately respond to a question about whether Lima is still in the running.

If you’re considering a career in law enforcement take a lesson here. City police chiefs are appointed by its politicians and if your city is run by Democrats you’ll be muzzled and micro managed…

I thought Police Chiefs RAN for that position and Police Commissioners were APPOINTED?
We vote on our Police Chief here where I live in OHIO and the Commissioner is appointed by the Mayor.

The Commish is in practice the head of the department so it’s a difference without a distinction. I can’t speak for the command structure model for every agency but suffice it to say that if the top cop in your agency is appointed and you live in a Democrat controlled city the citizens will have little to no say…

This shows the new thought policing of your views.
Omar and Talib can say what they want because they are “constitutionally” protected as Muslims, but remember that you have no right to association or free speech because, well, you are not Muslim.
Its time to acknowledge the new name of the country: the United States of Islam. I can just hear the chanting now… USI. USI. USI! And located just south of Canadistan.

THIS is why we have the COURT SYSTEM and Attorneys to fight for this guy’s 1st Amendment right to free speech, that is IF the Judge actually follows Constitutional law.

Law Schools, especially those areas teaching Constitutional Law, were one of the first targets for infiltration by the Progressives 100 years ago. Ditto teachers colleges.

You can’t call someone a terrorist who hasn’t committed any crimes. His wife did that. Also, cops have to remain neutral lest they become a liability.

You are an islamophobic if you are afraid of getting shot, blown up, kidnapped, raped, enslaved, or having your head chopped off. The force of law allows this in Britain and will shortly allow this in the US.

Facebook Accidentally Translates Chinese Leader’s Name
to ‘Mr. Shithole’
BY STEPHANIE MLOT 01.20.2020 :: 10:27AM EST
Facebook claims a “technical” error caused Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s name to appear as “Mr. Shithole” in Burmese-to-English translations on its platform.
The social network apologized for any offense it caused.
According to Reuters, Facebook’s faux pas was spotted on the second day of a visit by the president to Myanmar, where he and state counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi signed agreements covering Beijing-backed infrastructure plans.
“We fixed a technical issue that caused incorrect translations from Burmese to English on Facebook,” a company spokesperson said in a statement emailed to Geek. “We have taken steps to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
“We sincerely apologize for the offense this has caused,” the firm added.
Facebook’s Burmese database didn’t include Xi Jinping—China’s highest-ranking official since 2012. So, instead, it guessed at the translation, and hilarity ensued.
Translation tests of similar words starting with “xi” and “shi” in Burmese also produced “shithole,” Facebook added. (doubtful)

Hmmmm. Anyone ever hear of a pesky piece of paper, called the Constitution? All police officers, are entitled to their own opinions. If you violate policy, while in uniform, you may be subject to disciplinary actions. But, if you are off duty, in civilan clothes, you are as protected by the 1st Amendment, as that scumbag Tlaib. I don’t see anyone clamoring for her job, since she clearly hates Jews.
PS. I am being nice.
