A King County detective mocked a protester's death online — then his boss took him down

A King County Sheriff’s detective could be terminated for social media posts and comments he made over the summer relating to the protests for civil rights and racial justice in Seattle.

One of those memes, “All Lives Splatter,” was posted as two protesters were in critical condition after a driver struck them on Interstate 5. One of those protesters later died.

On Wednesday, Undersheriff Patti Cole-Tindall, the second in command at the King County Sheriff's Office, recommended that Det. Michael Brown be fired for conduct unbecoming, among other counts.

In a letter to Det. Brown, Cole-Tindall wrote an eviscerating critique of each of his Facebook posts, which are included below. We included her pointed analysis beneath each post.

King county and Seattle are mentioned, only way I could tell.

6. I'm usually pretty good at not posting Texas and Virginia stories in the Washington group.

Should I be adding the state name to the titles of all posts in the state groups? It seems a tad redundant.

7. It's not you or the system

And you are correct it is redundant. But there are a few of us who skim hundred of articles, and I am one of those who may not catch the group as I speed along.
