The KC Police Department took notice, and officer Catron is now in hot water:

The police department told KCTV it is investigating whether the officer violated department policies regarding social media, which state department employees are allowed to express their opinions as individuals, but should not post materials that “ridicule, malign, disparage or otherwise express bias any race, any religion or other protected class of individuals.”
