A Detroit prosecutor suggested a violent solution to ending the protests in Baltimore over a black mans death while in police custody.
Teana Walsh, an assistant prosecutor in Wayne County, posted this week on her Facebook account that demonstrators who committed acts of violence or vandalism should be shot, reported WJBK-TV.
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, Walsh posted.
(Fifteen) in the hospital already, she continued. Solution. Simple. Shoot em. Period. End of discussion. I dont care what causes the protestors to turn violent
what the they did it because reason is
no way is this acceptable. Flipping disgusting.
The assistant prosecutor made the post at 10:33 p.m. Monday but has since deleted it, but a local attorney who saw the post shared a photo of the remarks.

a poll of the 'general public' said that 58% of those polled blamed the students for the deaths, and 11% blames the Guard.

(13,256 posts)Equally appalling is the fact that she doesn't see any problem with expressing that idea openly.
Totally disqualifies her for the job.
