An Associated Press report discovered that a private Facebook group for Pittsburgh police officers became a place to spread hate online.
Several pro-Trump members of The Pittsburgh Area Police Breakroom Facebook group often referred to Black Lives Matter as terrorists and thugs. They shared posts criticizing law enforcement who marched with Black Lives Matter and Democrats — whom they often referred to as “demoncrats.”
Over time, the conversation within the group shifted from jokes about policing and memorializing fallen officers to racist and transphobic comments.
In 2019, the Plain View Project shared thousands of racist, sexist posts from active and retired police officers in eight other departments around the country.
