OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police are investigating an officer who said in a Facebook post that the Black Lives Matter movement is racist and is against white officers.
Officer Bryan Kulhanek also said the movement that arose after police shootings of blacks was not a pro-black group.
Screenshots of his post have been circulating on social media sites, prompting a Twitter campaign calling for his firing. By Sunday evening his site was blocked from public view.
The Omaha department said Monday that Kulhanek "had posted potentially inappropriate content" and had been placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation. The city's policy on social media says employees should assume that postings will reflect on the city "and thus should conduct themselves accordingly."
Associated Press efforts to reach Kulhanek were unsuccessful on Tuesday.
