Overland Park (Kansas) police officer Rodney Lee is facing disciplinary action after he apparently made a veiled threat toward the daughter of a Facebook user.
Lee made the veiled threat under a Facebook image of a black child that was originally posted in 2014.
Lee wrote: “We’ll see how much her life matters soon.. better be careful leaving your info open where she can be found 
Hold her close tonight, it’ll be the last time.”
Concerned Facebook users took screenshots of the post and posted the images on the Overland Police Department’s Facebook page.
The police department posted a message assuring the public that they were aware of the post.
“Chief Francis Donchez Jr. wants to assure the community the Overland Park Police Department will not tolerate any form of discrimination or threats. Possible disciplinary action for inappropriate behavior by staff members includes several steps including termination of employment.”
One Facebook user defended the officer saying he was simply warning the woman about posting pictures of her child on a page that is open to the public.
“There is no “context” that would ever make this OK,” wrote one Facebook user.
Other Facebook users called for the officer to be terminated.
Thanks to loyal reader Dani S. for the tip.
