Prosecutor Resigns over Tweet About Baltimore Protesters: ‘Shoot Em. Period.’

An assistant prosecutor in Michigan ended up resigning from her position after a post she wrote on Facebook about Baltimore protesters.

Teana Walsh posted this on Facebook after seeing some of the more violent protesters on the news:



According to MyFoxHouston, a Detroit defense attorney spotted the post and Walsh called Prosecutor Kym Worthy to offer up her resignation.

Worthy said, “The post was completely out of character for her and certainly does not reflect the person that we know.”
