A positive gesture by an NYPD precinct commander went sideways when she♊ used the hashtag #blacklivesmatter in an official tweet — and she deleted it amid furious pushbac🧜k.
Deputy Inspector Jani♊ce Holmes of the 100th Precinct in Rockaway, Queens, tweeted a photo of late African-American heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson from her NYPD account Thursday afternoon.
The tweet, commemorating Black History Month, elicited a storm of criticism from cops throughout the departꦉment, and i𒁏t was later taken down.
“How can a prec🌠inct commander lead people when she aligns herself with a group that is known to hate law enforcement and wishes police o🅷fficers dead?” one police source said.
“She’s making a political statement on a job Web site. Let’s see what the p🌌olice commissioner does now. If they don’t take action, then I guess the police commissioner and the mayor condone thisܫ.”
An NYPD spokesperson said the department is “cu🅷rren✃tly reviewing the twitter account of the 100th precinct.”
Holmes, the f🎃irst black commander of her precinct, is one of four siblings who serve with the department.
