A New Jersey police officer has been suspended and is pending an investigation after taking to social media to agree with Donald Trump’s threat to shoot the looters.
According to The Daily Journal, the Millville police officer, who has not been identified by the department, took to Facebook to comment on Trump’s “when the looting starts, the shooting starts” tweet.
Another Facebook user warned that protesters “can’t loot if they got holes in them,” and then the officer chimed in.
The officer then responded by saying, “Seems like target practice to me.”

The police department prohibits officers from using social media to discredit the department or highlight their status as an officer.
“The officer has been removed from their duties pending the outcome of the Internal Affairs investigation,” said department spokesman Capt. Ross Hoffman. “And we thank those members of the community who brought the post to our attention.”
