A Fairfax County firefighter who suggested putting police officers in body bags has been placed on paid administrative leave.
Khalil B. Abdul-Rasheed is under investigation for his Facebook posting that read: “We have (to) start putting them in body bags . . . stop filming and rally to your fellow citizen. Pull the cops off, lay on the individual, form a circle or throw punches. Do something . . . They can’t massacre a mob,” according to the Washington Post.
The post was made on a Facebook page that discussed citizen videos of police officers making arrests.
The post angered county law enforcement officials.
“The Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department will not tolerate committing or inciting violence against law enforcement officers,” Fire Chief Richard R. Bowers Jr. wrote in a statement.
