Thread: Detroit Police Detective demoted after anti-Black Lives Matter facebook post

DETROIT - A white Detroit police detective has been demoted after calling the Black Lives Matter movement "racists" and "terrorists" in a Facebook post.

Nate Weekley posted the comments in reaction to the tragedy in Dallas, where five police officers were killed and several others left wounded after a man opened fire on them.

The post read:

"For the first time in my nearly 17 years as a law enforcement officer I contemplated calling in to work in response to the outrageous act perpetrated against my brother. It seems like the only response that will demonstrate our importance to society as a whole. The only racists here are the piece of (expletive) black Lives Matter terrorists and their supporters ..."

Police Chief James Craig said an internal investigation is underway, and that Weekley has been de-appointed from a detective to a police officer.

Craig said officers are held to a high standard, even when they take their badge off at home.

"If you post something that is contrary to your role as a police officer, our oath of office, we will certainly take prompt and decisive action," he said. "Preliminarily, it's certainly inappropriate, it's certainly unprofessional."

Craig stressed that Weekley has a right to due process and will be treated just like anyone else who is facing an allegation...

I agree with him where many of them are concerned. If anybody is really objective you can see it. You can bet it if was the other way around and it was a black cop calling a group racist, nobody would have blinked an eye. Liberalism means that those that don't agree have no right to voice their opinion. This is totally out of line IMO. But that's 'tolerance' for you.

You're right Fuego, if it had been a black officer making the same comments about a white hate group, nothing would've happened. He would've been applauded.

I wonder if she'll lose her job...
