Seattle officer fired for Instagram posts targeting Obama and 'illegal immigrants'

SEATTLE — A Seattle police officer was fired after an internal investigation found “he appeared to endorse violence against political figures,” including former President Barack Obama, and railed against people who support “illegal immigrants," in a series of Instagram posts.

“I don’t condone sending package bombs but god it would be nice for Killary and Anti cop Obama to finally STFU! Maybe Obama will stop lying and claiming the good economy is from him. #maga #trump2020 #trump,” the officer wrote in a caption accompanying a picture of a mail package bomb, according to a closed case summary by the Seattle Office of Police Accountability.

In another profane post, the officer fumed against supporters of “illegal immigrants” and included the hashtags “#trump #redwave #republican #makeamericagreatagain #bluelivesmatter #thinblueline #thickblueline #police #cops #freedom,” the report said.
