Anti-Cop Rant on Facebook Gets DC Firefighter Sidelined

A DC firefighter has been placed on administrative duty after posting on Facebook that police officers in Baton Rouge "deserve nothing short of a bullet in their heads."

Norman Brooks, a nine-year-veteran, made the comments after a black man was shot and killed by two white police officers in Baton Rouge. Those comments have since been removed.

DC Fire and EMS took the action after they were informed by police, according to WTTG.

One of Brooks' posts read: “Bottom Line: “These racist [expletive] cops who are murder our people need to start turning up the same way… they shouldn’t feel safe walking the streets and neither should their supporters. Protesting is a lost cause and it makes us all look like a bunch a [derogatory term]. These evil [expletives] don’t have any compassion. They are gonna let them PIGS go free and probably start a gofundme and make em millionaires…….

“Its time to stop praying, stop protesting, start buying guns, and start protecting ourselves from these crooked [expletive] racist cops. If you are a cop and are not in support of these people then its about time to start turning these type a [expletives] in or at least givin out some addresses so we the people can handle em.

“End of rant (Please share)"

Another read:

“The answer is ‘yes’…Im saying the citizens should take the law in their own hands and target racist cops. Those pigs in baton Rouge deserve nothing short of a bullet in their heads. See how their families feel after..."

A DC Fire and EMS official said they are investigating.
