A Pacific Grove police officer placed on administrative leave for allegedly posting racist comments on social media is no longer employed at the department. It marked the second time he was investigated and put on administrative leave within the past eight months.
Last summer, a complaint was sent to Pacific Grove Police Chief Cathy Madalone concerning stickers on the officer s personal truck. (The department is not naming the officer because of a law that protects his privacy). The truck was parked in public view at the police department.

KAZU brought you live, special coverage from NPR about the developments. The House voted 232-197 on Wednesday to impeach Trump for inciting an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Ten Republicans and all Democrats voted in favor of the historic decision, including Central Coast Congressman Jimmy Panetta (D-Carmel Valley).
A Northern California police officer is no longer employed by his department after posting disparaging comments about the Black Lives Matter movement on social media.
Pacific Grove Police Chief Cathy Madalone said in a six-minute video posted to the department’s YouTube channel on Wednesday that the officer who made the comments on the right-wing social media platform in November is “no longer employed by the city of Pacific Grove in any capacity.”
Madalone said she couldn’t provide more information about the matter due to “legal constraints.”
Late last year the chief said the post in question said “F–k Black Lives Matter.” Pending the investigation, the officer was placed on leave at that time.
