The  police officer who was filmed pushing CNN's Don Lemon in Ferguson, Mo. earlier this week has been suspended after footage of him making disparaging comments about President Barack Obama, gays serving in the military and the Muslim community surfaced.

The Huffington Post reports that Dan Page, who has 35 years worth of police experience, also bragged about murders he allegedly committed while speaking before a group known as the Oath Keepers of St. Louis and St. Charles. "I hate everybody," he says in the video. "I'm into diversity. I kill everybody."

It remains unclear when the video was shot, but St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said the only reason he didn't terminate Page is because a review had to be performed first. That will take place on Monday, and Page will also be subject to psychological evaluation.
