You gotta love the Washington Times for splashing this story across the top of their local coverage today: “EXCLUSIVE: Capitol Police probe officers’ Facebook pages” reads the headline, with the subhead, “Complaint cites degradation of women, hedonism.” Apparently a couple of officers are “members” of a public group on Facebook called the “Make-it-Rain Foundation for Underprivileged Hoes,” which we gather means these guys want it to be known that they are fans of going to strip clubs. Talk about a snoozefest. But wait, there’s more!

One of the three men also listed himself as a member of the “He-Man Woman Hater’s Club” and founded a Facebook group called “Passed Out in Trashcans” – a three-member group geared toward “anyone else that has woken up from a long night of drinking to find themselves in the trashcan.”

Sigh. We get that law enforcement bodies are entitled to hold their officers to higher standards of conduct even while they’re off duty, but people do understand that these are just Facebook groups, right? I myself am still a member of the “Save Scrabulous” group, an affiliation that marks me as a supporter of an online enterprise that has long since been determined to have been operating illegally. These Capitol Police officers may have bad taste, but last we checked, enjoying strip clubs isn’t illegal.
