The Louisiana police officer who wrote on Facebook that New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez “needs a round” has been fired, officials said Monday.

Gretna Police Chief Arthur Lawson told reporters that Charles Rispoli, a 14-year veteran of the force, was given the boot for calling the Democratic lawmaker a “vile idiot” who “needs a round, and I don’t mean the kind she used to serve,” in a since-deleted post.

The officer was apparently implying that Ocasio-Cortez should be shot and referencing her past gig as a bartender.

“It’s very, very disappointing,” Lawson said, according to WDSU. “Whether it was a joke, or it wasn’t a joke, it was improper to make a comment like that, to insinuate a violent act against an individual… it’s just completely irresponsible and intolerable.”

Rispoli had posted the missive as a caption to a story he shared from the satirical website tatersgonnatate.com, with the headline: “Ocasio-Cortez on the Budget: ‘We Pay Soldiers Too Much,’ ” according to a screenshot captured by nola.com.

Though the photo on the post is marked as “satire” and was labeled “false” by the website Snopes.com, it appears Rispoli was upset by the story.

Lawson said the article “took someone and exposed a weakness that they had, and cost them their career.”

“It’s sad that you see it in social media where people don’t comprehend what they’re reading and take a caption and react…,” Lawson added. “Its a shame but its the world we’re living in now.”

The chief said he didn’t believe Rispoli meant to harm anyone and described him as a “mild-mannered person” who never had any disciplinary issues.

“I think he just got caught up in the heat of the moment and posted, and actually after he posted he realized very quickly that he shouldn’t have done it and took it down but by then it was too late.”

Another cop, Angelo Varisco, who was hired in 2016, was fired for liking the post, Lawson said.

“He wasn’t the originator of the post but whether you originated, or liked it or share it, you participated and it’s something we’re not going to tolerate,” he said.
