Officers Suspended For Posting Snapchat Of A Gun Pointed At An Emoji Of A Black Man Running

This is part of the problem.
On Thursday, a Memphis police officer shared a sickening Snapchat (above), pointing a gun at an emoji of an African American man running.
The hand holding the weapon in the photo was white.

The disturbing display was posted in the wake of two police shootings that killed Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, and on the same night that five cops were killed by a sniper in Dallas.
Another officer on the force also shared the snap on Twitter.
We are absolutely horrified that there are people who would actually post something so offensive, especially following these terrible tragedies.
We are even more disgusted that the awful image was shared by the very people who have been enlisted to protect and serve this country's civilians.

The MPD isn't commenting on the motive for the controversial snap, but Interim Director Mike Rallings was outraged by the picture, saying:

worst…..costume…..ever!!!!!!!
He looks nothing like JB
He looks nothing like Justin Bieber, but he sure does look better with his hair down. That Reese's cup hairdo he usually sports is ridiculous.
he looks like 15, that's the only thing in common with Justin
Someone dressed him like that; I knew he was gay!
a lot cuter with his hair down fer sure
He should wear a wig
Loving this 'do!
He has the shitiest hair I have ever seen in my life, with and without product.
He looks so much better with his down & I can't imagine how much he spends on hair products a month to create that horrendous updo.
ohhh yeahhhh
That's a lame costume but he looks better with his hair down.
love his hair like that
lol He kinda look like Bieber lol my hair looks just like Pauly's hair when it down like that
I love Pauly, but he looks sooo ugly here.
He's actually cute without all the hair gel.
JB? I THINK NOT. HOWEVER THAT HAIRDO HE HAS THAT LOOKS LIKE AN ICE CREAM DRUMSTICK SHOULD STAY DOWN PERMANANTLY. HE SEEMS LIKE A NICE GUY. HE SHOULD GET OUT OF THIS NJ SHIT.
he looks much better like that!
People I strongly urge most of you to vote on 11/2/10 DEMOCRAT. Let me tell you our experience today 10/31/10: we were putting up posters for the Democrats and we ran into altercations by the republicans who threaten bodily harm who were trying to suppress our 1st Amendment Freedom of Speech. It was like experiencing the Bush Administration all over again when his party set up illegal procedures to spy on others. If the republicans get in control again, they will NOT protect your Bill of Rights under the constitution. Vote DEMOCRAT on 11/2/10.
He looks better this way.
Pauly D Looks nothing like JB…wth, alot of people are dressing up as Justin this year..
he looks hot like that
aww. pauly looks so kute i love him so much.. i look up to him
He looks way better with his hair down and not that douchey look.
He looks soooo much better with it down!
serious grenades in the background. fyi, you are way too old, ellen/pauly d
And I thought he looked bad with his hair before. I don't know what everyone is talking about cause he looks older with his hair down then up. He actually manage to look worse.
A vast improvement
It was a great costume idea, I approve, but he doesn't look at all like the Biebs. Especially not with that hair. Justin has perfect looking hair and his looks kinda greasy and weird. Nice try Pauly.
HOT!
he actually looks like a creeper! lol
