It Ain’t American No More
Officer Cheeks is a sworn police officer with the Fairfax County (VA) School District Police. If you would like to file a complaint against Officer Cheeks, go here:

Let Fred Ellis know that, contrary to what his officer thinks, this is STILL America, the Constitution has not yet been scrapped, the First Amendment still applies, and their oath requires that they respect the right to free speech of all Americans, even when the officer does not like the speech. The First Amendment does not just protect speech the officer on the scene agrees with, and he is not free to implement his own mini-constitutional suspension zone.

In comments it says he is not part of the Fairfax PD, but part of the school security team. Don’t email the Fairfax PD.
Update from Townhall.
Officer Cheeks is a member of the Fairfax County Public Schools’ trained School Security Officer team. The school’s security force, however, refused to comment on the story until its communications offices reopen on Monday.

Keith,
Thanks for posting that Mr. Cheeks is not a member of the Fairfax County Police Department. I was just about to post that myself after seeing the following on another site:
“..I found this communication on MichelleMalkin.com from the Fairfax County Police:
“Wesley Cheeks is NOT a Fairfax County police officer, he is a security officer employed by the Fairfax County Public Schools.
You may go to
http://www.fcps.edu to contact the School’s Department of Communication and Community Outreach concerning this matter. They may also be reached by phone at 571-423-1200.
Please accept my apologies for the impersonal reply; however I am trying to give the several hundred respondents the courtesy of a timely answer.
Lieutenant Thomas J. Rogers
Asst Commander, Reston District Station”
