https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/4-police-officers-san-jose-put-leave-over-racist-anti-n12323444 police officers in San Jose put on leave over racist, anti-Muslim Facebook posts
-----
The screenshots include an alleged post by a retired officer who lambastes Black Lives Matter protesters as racist idiots, un-American and enemies. Another screenshot, allegedly of a post by a current officer in San Jose, says, Black lives dont really matter.
The article also includes screenshots of anti-Muslim posts allegedly made in the private Facebook group, including one comment saying, I say re-purpose the hijabs into nooses.
Officer Gina Tepoorten, a spokesperson for the San Jose Police Department, said an administrative probe into the comments is underway, and "four of our officers have been placed on administrative leave while the investigation is conducted."

They made the posts.
Ask them.
If they say yes, fire them.
If they say no, fire them for liars.
Whichever way they answer, every case in which they testified in court or swore out an affidavit must be tossed out. Any instance of complaint about their behavior must now be considered well-founded. These things apply to matter in which the retired officer was involved as well.
Creatures like this cannot be tolerated on a police force.
