Donnie Riggins, School Resource Officer, Dressed As Gynecologist 'Dr. Harry Beaver' (POLL)

Donnie Riggins, the resource cop for Lake Brantley High School in Florida, was let go on Friday after he came to school dressed as a gynecologist by the name of "Dr. Harry Beaver," WFTV reports.

The report notes that what might have started out as a well-meaning talk to students about the dangers of drinking and driving, quickly turned inappropriate when he mentioned a teacher in a hypothetical situation.

"Now, you know you have been drinking, but after all, it's Mrs. Cahill," Riggins said in the recording, according to the station. "And you're saying to yourself, 'She's giving me the dirty eye, she's licking her chops. I think I should give her a ride."

School administrators were not happy with the comments, however, and Riggins has since been re-assigned to patrol.

Despite the controversy, WKMG reports students are outraged by the "popular" officer's removal.

"Students have obtained nearly 400 signatures calling for Riggin's reinstatement, however, students don't know why the popular officer was removed from the school."

"He was a very nice guy, always joking around," one student told the station. "Never seemed to have any problems with anybody or any thing."

Although the office later apologized, the subject of the officer's joke, Mrs. Jacqueline Cahill, left the presentation after the comments were made, a blog from the Miami News Times reports.

Altamonte Springs police told WFTV Riggins wasn't suspended because it was his first offense.

High school kids are actually quite mature enough to enjoy this type of humor, most are not as sheltered as many think. That said, doing this at school, and on the job, is just plain irresponsible.

(admission: I lol'd at first read)

This is when role models try to be a kid's "friend." Kids have enough friends. Keep it mopped up.

I thought all beavers were hairy. How else could a beaver survive the cold water and long winters in the streams that they call their homes?

I believe it's due to the warm liquids they're showered with.

Dude, have a little discretion. How do you not realize that that is not the right time or place for that sort of thing? Rules violations and offensiveness aside, the man should lose his job for being so sack-of-hammers DUMB.

Dude ....
You can't invoke the actual name of a teacher, creat a hypothetical situation where 'She's giving me the dirty eye, she's licking her chops. I think I should give her a ride......" and expect to keep you job.

You, Sir, are unfit for duty.

Perhaps it hit to close to the truth and someone was at such a party.

If you read the investigation memo, it states that he did make an apology that was televised. However, the internal police investigation revealed that this was a pattern of conduct that was not permitted in a school enviroment. It is the police dept's decision on discipling, not the school's. As a parent, I would agree he should have used better judgement.
