The Plain View Project published the findings and created a database of active and former Police Officers public Facebook posts and comments from Police Officers from several departments across the country.
The Departments were Philadelphia, PA, Dallas, TX, St. Louis, MO, Phoenix, AZ, York, PA, Twin Falls, ID, Denison, TX and Lake County, FL. As a result, many of the departments are taking these officers off the street until an investigation is completed.
Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams took immediate action. Commissioner Richard Ross apparently has followed suite taking decisive action against some of the worst offenders.
The findings of this report has given the Philadelphia Police Department another black eye in the national spotlight.
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is allegedly compiling a new list, and checking it twice, to add this new wave of officers to the “Do Not Call” list.
Corporal Robert Pawlowski received discipline after famously referring to an African American Captain using the racial slur “Nigger” while at the Fraternal Order of Police.
Sergeant Mark Palma was kicked out of the Crime Scene Unit and his gun was taken along with Sergeant Joseph Przepiorka, reportedly put in the Auto Pound. Przepiorka was none too happy about having his gun confiscated.
Officer Milord Celce had his gun yanked. However; the list included Inspectors, Captains, Lieutenants, Sergeants and Corporals as well. The assignments of some of these supervisors are just as disturbing as the comments.
Officer Reuban Ondarza and Kevin Lewis have also been yanked off the streets.
Inspector D.F. Pace is assigned to the Police Board of Inquiry (PBI). The PBI is the disciplinary board responsible for making disciplinary decisions for officers accused of misconduct. That’s really rich coming someone who sits in judgment of others while exercising extremely poor judgment himself.
A common theme for some of the Officers who were posting some of the offensive materials is a history of complaints.
Pace puts in his Linked In profile “As an attorney and Police Inspector in the nation’s fourth largest police department , D. F. Pace focuses on balancing constitutional protections and civil rights with public safety. He currently heads the Philadelphia Police Department’s Police Board of Inquiry.”
So the guess is that Pace is balancing his freedom of speech with the Philadelphia Police Departments’ mission and brand.
Captain Adam Friedman is a Captain in the 8th District. Ironically, in an interview he states “We want to increase social media, too. We’re working on that, having a Facebook page and Twitter for the district.” Apparently, he has attained this goal in his personal life.
Also included on the list is George Mullen, Frank Palumbo, Javier Rodriguez, Jarreau Thomas, and Edward Thompson.
A private law firm will be handling the investigation.
