A Texas judge has come under fire for making a racially insensitive comment on Facebook about the suspect arrested in the shooting death of San Antonio police officer Detective Benjamin Marconi.

Burnet County Judge James Oakley of Spicewood wrote on the San Antonio police department's Facebook wall under a mug shot of suspect Otis Tyrone McKane, according to a screenshot, 'Time for a tree and a rope.'

Several people 'liked' the comment, but others were outraged.

'Very inappropriate remark,' wrote on commenter. 'I am as angry as anyone but for you to use FB to Lost my further support.'
