Captain becomes bullseye after ‘Target’ note to staff
forwarded to metro media
It may have been an error of perception rather than intent for Ocean City Beach Patrol Capt. Butch Arbin, after an email he sent to his staff and later forwarded to metro daily newspapers touched the nerves of advocates, pundits and at least one of his subordinates.
Arbin, a member of the beach patrol for 40 years and captain for almost 20, sent a reminder to staff on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. apparently in response to a complaint that some male members of staff were using the restrooms marked for females.
The email reads, “WE are NOT Target. USE the locker room that corresponds to your DNA. IN plain words Males use the Men’s locker room ONLY! Females use the Women’s locker room ONLY! If you’re NOT SURE go to Target.”
The idea to use Target may have been a continuation of a conversation between Arbin and staff during a training session, according to a senior member of the Beach Patrol.
Sgt. Colby Phillips, a Beach Patrol veteran of 23 years, said she was told in a meeting of sergeants and crew chiefs following the release of the email that the episode started among the rank and file in Arbin’s presence. She was not present at the time.

Witch hunt. That's all this is.
This crap needs to stop. Sticks and stones break your bones but words can never hurt you. Remember that America? I want my country back.
Grow up people... it's time to stop worrying about what you say and who's feelings you hurt..
Words do not hurt... grow some skin..
I agree with Butch.. maybe he should have held up his sarcasm sign so Sheldon would understand the Joke..
The PC police have come to OC and it's time for the town to rid them of it.
Now the truth comes out! Colby trying to cover her butt, everyone knows she's the leak!
Let's all follow Colby to the women's room, there's a plan.
Sheesh, crucified for making a joke. The US is out of control with PCness.
Stand your ground, Capt.Arbin.
This is still America, and soon it will be free once again.
We must STOP caving to liberal PC tantrums. Though they have the right to speak their mind, SO DO YOU.
Long gone are the good old days when Harry Kelly and Fish Powell would have backed Capt. Arbin 120%. And, told the LSM where to shove their
PC crap.
If this Waters nut job is a "manager" as stated in the quote, she or whatever identified by should manage and put this to rest, by giving the good man a pat on the back and move with her bad self.
Thank you Capt. Arbin for forty years of service!!
I happen to agree with his statement to use the restroom that corresponds with you DNA. Why politicize going to the bathroom? How about go to the bathroom and shut up about it.
Water's holds a liberal title left from Recor, and is a complete disbag
So the males were using the ladies room. Not because they are transgender but because they didn't want to wait. Sorry this guy had it right. The women should NOT be put in danger nor should they have their privacy jeopardized because a male wants to use their restroom. I women if the female that started all this would be comfortable changing with a man she didn't know while in the same room. Doubtful. She is just looking to stir the crap.

I don't think it was a joke. The men were using the women's room out of convenience. Tell those men to wait their turn and stay out of the women's room!
Telling ya Colby is behind this
Your worse than Jessica!
When she's not disrupting the Fire department, we were hoping they were going to take her, instead she just married one.
If the captain was a female, everything would be acceptable. Today's world folk's
Anyone that identifies with the LGBT group should be upset with the males that were using the females bathroom! They abused a law. We knew it was going to happen.
Colby always has been very sneaky and her husband too one of those union paramedics that wants to get paid to sleep with 24 hr shifts.
10:58 and not a good person.
You mean the husband she has after the "sneaky" started? Speaks of her character that we already knew.
She is behind this,her Facebook page shows it's obvious. Take her disloyal ass over to the fire union where the rest of the hero's cry, and leave the OCBP alone!
You don't know what your talking about! The EMTs are to busy sleeping to cry, Seriously, we saw the writing on the wall with the so called Sargent, she was loving the Captain being railroaded, she lead the locomotive.
Hopefully tomorrow is the start of a better week, and the closed M&CC meeting will put this behind us. As far as the so called Sargent, well, suck it up boys, she's not going anywhere. No one else would have her.
