Fire a police employee who is privately a RW extremist?

During recent military conflict escalation between Israel and Hezbollah movement based in south Lebanon, Czech neo-Nazis and anti-Semitic radicals gathered in front of the Israel Embassy in Prague to protest against Israel's military actions within the south Lebanon. One of participants of this demonstration, who were armed and threatened to attack the embassy, was a young municipal policeman in civilian dress, at the time out of service. He is also running a website, where is he speaks of Jews as of hooligans from the synagogues. The policeman was discharged but he defends, that he attended the demonstration as a documentarist during his freetime.

Question: Should the municipal police sack its employee, if it turns out that he actively participates at right-wing extremist movement in private?

I agree with you. Law enforcement is trusted by the public to provide peace and security, if one or some of the officers is a member of an extermist group he or she can erode that public trust.

yes the police officer should be discharged he is a fascist and therefore how can he be considered safe ie how can someone be protecting the public when he is in fact a danger to probably the most vulnerable people in european history .
