72 Police in Philadelphia <br />Pulled off the Street for <br />Racist Facebook Posts Philadelphia Police <br />Commissioner Richard Ross <br />is expecting to discipline <br />"several dozen" of the officers. It is possible that <br />some officers will be fired. An independent law firm is <br />reviewing more than 3,100 Facebook <br />posts that were catalogued in a <br />database called the Plain View Project. Created by Injustice Watch, the<br />project has catalogued social media <br />posts of police officers and former <br />police officers from all over the country. The prioritized posts are ones <br />"clearly advocating violence or death <br />against any protected class such as <br />ethnicity, national origin, sex, religion and race.” Commissioner Ross said <br />he was "disgusted by many <br />of the posts" attributed to <br />the 72 officers in question. He said the department "will <br />work tirelessly to repair" its reputation <br />"with neighborhoods and individual <br />groups that we struggle to work with."
