Rogue Police Chief Mark Kessler posts video showing him shooting targets named after Gilberton Council President and Vice-President.

(SCHUYLKILL COUNTY, PA)—Suspended Gilberton (PA) Police Chief Mark Kessler has posted another threatening video. The newest video shows Kessler shooting at a target he calls “Eric.” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ6DLCGHo2I) The Vice-President of the Gilberton Borough Council is named Eric Boxer. Kessler has repeatedly blamed Boxer for instigating his suspension.

Before shooting the “Eric” target, Kessler talks about being suspended and describes “Eric” as a tyrant. Kessler shows another target in the video (around 4:50) and calls that target “Danny.” The President of the Borough Council is named Daniel Malloy.

Kessler has gotten international attention for his videos threatening House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Secretary of State John Kerry, liberals and Democratic voters.

On July 31, the same day he was suspended, he posted a video that shows him shooting a Tommy Gun while saying “This guy voted for Obama. We have an Obama Supporter.” http://tinyurl.com/kesslerobama

“Kessler is a ticking time bomb who must be removed from his position immediately,” said Michael Morrill, executive director of Keystone Progress. “His suspension is over this week. This video is clearly intended to intimidate Gilberton Council members before they decide on his future. Kessler’s continued intimidation of people he disagrees with has created a climate of fear in Gilberton and beyond. It is outrageous to allow him to continue to carry a badge and a gun while he repeatedly intimidates citizens.”

Kessler has come under national scrutiny for posting similar videos in his capacity as the Chief of Police of Gilberton, a small community in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. In one video he has shot at a target that he called Nancy Pelosi, saying “We’re gonna give two to Nancy [Pelosi], then we’re gonna put two in her face.” In another, Kessler shoots an automatic weapon telling Secretary of State John Kerry “Come and get it.” He titled another video “Shoot a Libtard from a Tree.”

Kessler’s actions and statements are so outrageous that the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association distanced themselves from him saying, “police officers, and especially police leaders, have an obligation to conduct and express themselves, both on and off duty, in a manner that reflects the professionalism, discipline, courtesy and civility that are part of the values of the law enforcement profession.”
