Unnamed Officer – Elgin Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In 2014, an Elgin police officer was placed on leave pending an investigation into a Facebook post that stated police in Ferguson, Missouri, ‘did society a favor’ by killing unarmed teenager Michael Brown. The officer was investigated for potentially violating the department’s social media policy. The outcome of the investigation and any disciplinary actions taken were not specified in the available sources.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
