The police chief in Michigan appears to have used a locked Twitter account to call for officers to crush unrest, saying photos of cops kneeling with protesters made him 'want to vomit.'
"Trump threatening to deploy the military," a tweet posted by @sheepdawg711 stated."I have a better idea: unleash the real cops and let them take care of these barbarians. I promise it will be over in 24 hours. Cops are crippled by politicians and the media."
"Wild savages. I wish to God I would have been there. Body bags for these vicious subhumans," the account added in response to a video of suspects being sought in Rochester, New York, forScreenshots of the tweets from the locked account were first shared by Dan Lippitt, a photojournalist turned commercial photographer, who has been asking his Facebook followers to send him images of people sharing racists memes or comments online.
In addition, the pinned tweet of the account on the cached page was from May 23, 2019, and read,"The Police Officers Association of Michigan presented me with the '2019 Administrator of the Year' award at the Amway Grand Hotel in Grand Rapids, Michigan."Among the other tweets shared by the account in early May when it still appeared to be public was extensive criticism of the coronavirus lockdown measures in Michigan.
