Female officer tells racist cops to “put the KKK hoodie on”

She says police deal with mistrust and suspicion from many communities, and that will never change while these police shootings continue to occur.

Officials say Officer Blane Salamoni and Officer Howie Lake II responded to the call. “You stood up there and took an oath”, she said.

Jones, who said she was the first black female officer in Warrensville Heights, said that in 1996 she “became a police officer to make a difference in people’s lives”. “I know what it’s like to have a parent on drugs”.

The video appears to show a woman sitting in the passenger seat of a auto next to a man who had apparently been shot by a police officer standing outside the vehicle.

“The reason I became a police officer is to make a difference in people’s lives”, she said.

“How dare you stand next to me in the same uniform and murder somebody?”.

“If you are white and you work in a black community and you are racist, you should be ashamed of yourself”. And I watched the video over, and over, and over and over and over again so that I wouldn’t become judgmental. They say an altercation ensued between the officers and 37-year-old Alton Sterling, who was allegedly outside the store selling CDs.

She said watching the incident from Louisiana made her want to quit her job as an officer, but added this was time for everybody to support one another. We’re killing each other.

“My heart goes out too that young man’s family because if it was my son, I don’t know what I would do”, she said.

“Put these guns down because we’re killing each other”, she said.

Baton Rouge police say Sterling was armed.

Warrensville Heights officer Nakia (nuh-KEE’-uh) Jones says, “Sometimes our peers have to hold us accountable”.

By 6:45 a.m. Thursday, her video had been viewed more than 1.2 million times with almost 80,000 shares. “If you are that officer that’s prejudice, take the uniform off and put the KKK hoodie on because I will not stand for that!”

“What hurts me the most is people who stood in front of a judge, in front of a mayor, and said I swear my oath I will serve and protect this community…if you are white and you work in a black community and you are a racist, you should be ashamed of yourself”.
