A San Jose Police Department spokeswoman confirmed the agency was conducting an administrative investigation into the comments.
Four San Jose police officers have been placed on administrative leave amid an investigation into a private Facebook group where bigoted and racist comments were shared among current and retired law enforcement officers.
“Hell, I would have pulled it over her face,” the officer said in his comment, according to the Medium article.San Jose Dist. Atty. Jeff Rosen said in a statement that his office’s Conviction Integrity Unit would perform a “comprehensive review” of all cases in which current and retired officers had a role.“What I just read sickened me and made me sick for our entire community. No one who expresses these type of disgusting, racist comments should ever wear a badge,” Rosen said in the statement.
King, 40, included screenshots and snippets of conversations, also on Medium — a tactic he took because he said he didn’t know where to report the incident and because he said he had little faith in law enforcement.Three of those named in King’s article were former Long Beach police officers. On Friday night, one of those former officers accidentally discharged a handgun at a gas station on Bellflower Boulevard, according to a statement from Long Beach police.
