A tweet posted on the Fontana Police Department’s official Twitter account that called a Muslim American politician “un-American” had tongues wagging this week.
from the internet, with some saying the tweet was “justified” or downplaying it as a “mistake,” while others called out the Police Department for being racist and biased.
Fontana police say the off-duty employee who sent the tweet had permission to make official social media posts on the Twitter account. Authorities say the person — who has not been identified but who a spokesperson says was a “sworn peace officer” — thought the comments were being sent to a personal Twitter feed, but instead were posted on the department’s official account.
The organization also called for any results from the Police Department’s investigation to be shared publicly.“On an issue like this, we want to do a very thorough investigation,” said Sgt. Kellen Guthrie, who would not comment on what the department’s investigation entails. Guthrie said officers are subject to discipline for actions both on- and off-duty, although he would not comment on whether this officer would be disciplined for the tweet.
