A Kansas City, Mo. cop is facing an internal review after posting racist statements on Facebook about Mike Brown, the 18-year-old unarmed youth who was gunned down by a Ferguson, Mo. cop.
Officer Marc Catron posted the wrong photo of Brown which he captioned: “I’m sure young Michael Brown is innocent and just misunderstood. I’m sure he is a pillar of the Ferguson community.”
A spokesman for the Kansas City Police Department said Catron faced an internal review for his online actions that violate department policy.
From Gawker.com:
Officer Marc Catron sarcastically called Brown “a pillar of the Ferguson community” in a photo post showing a young black man holding a gun and biting down on a wad of cash. That’s actually Joda Cain, charged with killing his great-grandmother with a sledgehammer. But if you’re a racist and all black men look alike to you, then, sure, it’s Michael Brown.
Catron also shared a meme with the caption “Remember how white people rioted after OJ’s acquittal?”—because the one time a black man appeared to beat the system, thanks to an extremely expensive legal team, is definitely just as outrageous as a teenager being shot six times by the authority charged with protecting his community.
A private Facebook group titled Marc Catron Isn’t worthy of the shield has 274 members.
