So someone in the LAPD posted a photo of George Floyd on social media with the caption, “you take my breathe away” in a Valentine format.

Really? This doesn’t help the situation. I’m curious as to the division and rank of the person who made the post. Holla.

A member of the LAPD posted a photo of George Floyd online with the caption "you take my breath away," a department email says and a spokesperson confirmed to Patch.

"We are aware of that inappropriate post," said LAPD officer Rosario Cervantes.

He (and it is almost certainly a he) should immediately be fired and prevented from ever carrying a badge again.

never put them in any position where they are in charge of other officers.

I, for one, completely trust the LAPD to take this seriously, and react appropriately!

Try racist, psycho, gutless, sadistic, inhuman, and, likely, armed and very dangerous.

america has a racist underbelly that has now been exposed by the fascist trump and his racist base of voters. This cop probably voted for him. Hell he might have been in D.C. the 6th of January. He's why they are called PIGS.
