BRANFORD >> Police have opened an internal affairs investigation into whether veteran officer Joe Peterson violated department policy in a Facebook exchange with Branford gun rights activist John Cinque, Capt. Geoffrey Morgan said Tuesday.

Peterson’s comments in the exchange have unleashed a firestorm in the days since it took place.

In the exchange with Cinque — who in addition to being a gun advocate is an East Haven firefighter who has known Peterson for years — Cameron Smith and others, Peterson said that he would “give my left nut to bang down your door and come for your gun.”

He will be lucky if that is all he gives up if they start kicking down doors for this.
