The actual Facebook post by a prosecutor in Detroit
American ugliness is a real thing and it's dangerous.
The Assistant Prosecutor of Detroit, Teana Walsh, posted the following disturbing words on Facebook.
So I am watching the news in Baltimore and see large swarms of people throwing bricks, etc at police who are fleeing from their assaults ... 15 in the hospital already. Solution. Simple. Shoot em. Period. End of discussion. I don't care what causes the protestors to turn violent...what the 'they did it because' reason is...no way is this acceptable. Flipping disgusting."
Word was just released that she resigned over it, but read the total pass she was given for it.
"During her tenure in the office Teana Walsh has been known for her great work ethic and her compassion for victims of crime and their families. Her post was up on line briefly and she immediately took it down. The post was completely out of character for her and certainly does not reflect the person that we know."
Here's the thing.
When a prosecutor posts on Facebook that protestors should be shot as the best course of action, it absolutely reveals her character. It very much speaks to how she's views certain people and certainly doesn't sound like an anti-violence person of compassion. To think that this same woman had the power to prosecute others is frightening.
She's gone from Detroit, but where will she set up shop next?
