Cop Under Investigation For Posting Fake Picture Of Mike Brown
Kansas City Cop Under Review For Posting Fake Picture Of Mike Brown
Kansas City police officer Marc Catron is under internal review after posting racially inflammatory Facebook posts about the uprising in Ferguson in response to the police murder of 18-year-old Michael Brown, including a picture “mistakenly” identifying Brown as a murder suspect.
As previously reported by NewsOne, Joda Cain, 17, is accused of murdering his great-grandmother, Jacqueline Bell, 71, at her home in Portland, Oregon then stealing her car to flee the area.
Cain and his cousin, Micus Ward, 19, allegedly killed Bell after a party they threw at her home. When Cain was planning the party, friends asked him would the noise bother his great-grandmother and he allegedly said, “Don’t worry, I’ll hit her. I’ll knock her out.”
Cartron posted Cain’s picture with the comment: “I’m sure young Michael Brown is innocent and just misunderstood. I’m sure he is a pillar of the Ferguson community.”
Cartron also compared Brown’s murder to the death of Nicole Brown Simpson and the subsequent trial of her O.J. Simpson:
“Remember how white people rioted after OJ’s acquittal? Me neither.”
