Over the past several weeks, a number of police departments have found themselves in hot water over hateful or racist remarks allegedly made by officers on Facebook. A group called the Plain View Project says it has compiled thousands of these comments.
Over the past several weeks, a number of police departments have found themselves in hot water over hateful or racist remarks allegedly made by their officers.
But the comments weren't caught on camera or overheard by bystanders. Instead, the officers posted them on their own public Facebook pages. And now anyone can view these comments, thanks to the Plain View Project, a sort of watchdog group that says it has compiled thousands of these comments from thousands of purported police officers' Facebook pages.
Study finds police officers' hateful social media posts 03:01How it worksTo get started, the Plain View Project used publicly available rosters of police officers in eight jurisdictions across the United States, according to its website, and began searching for those officers on Facebook.
