The Minnesota Department of Corrections is investigating one of its officers after he was recorded taunting and shouting profanities at a group of Black people peacefully protesting police brutality on Sunday.
Sgt. Paul Gorder, who has worked at Minnesota Correctional Facility Stillwater for more than 30 years, has been placed on investigative leave while MN DOCs Office of Professional Accountability reviews the matter, a spokeswoman for the department told HuffPost in an email Monday.
The actions in this video in no way reflect the values of the MN DOC, the spokeswoman wrote.
In the nearly 40-second video, recorded on a cellphone by one of the protesters, Gorder can be seen giving the middle finger to a small group of demonstrators in Stillwater, Minnesota, about 25 miles east of Minneapolis.
Fuck you, fuckers! shouted Gorder, who was donning American flag shorts.
At one point, a blond woman standing with Gorder can be heard yelling, All you fucking niggers ― get out of here!
Multiple witnesses identified the woman as Gorders wife, Kimberly Beer. Facebook accounts for Gorder and Beer feature photos of them together.

(82,849 posts)I wonder if any inmates lodged complaints against Sgt. Gorder, and how those were resolved? And if any complaints were deemed inconclusive because Paul's such a swell guy, popular with the other officers, and nobody can imagine him being racist at all?
