DALLAS — "Aim better."
Those two words have put a sergeant with the Dallas Police Department on administrative leave pending an internal investigation, DPD sources tell WFAA.
A screenshot of the post shared with WFAA shows the social media post made by Sgt. Arturo Martinez.
This comes in the wake of former president Donald Trump being the target of an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennslyvania. The next day, the FBI identified the shooter as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.
The department said it received an internal complaint on July 13 "regarding a member of the Dallas Police Department and a comment made on a social media platform."
"When I received the notification regarding the comment posted, disappointed would be an understatement," Chief Eddie Garcia said in a statement. "If in fact true, the comment made has no place in our society, and certainly no place in law enforcement.
Martinez has been with the department for about 14 years and is the supervisor of Dallas PD's robbery unit. Martinez was also the organizer of the "Blue for Black Lives Matter” demonstration where several hundred officers and protesters marched together in solidarity in the wake of the death of George Floyd.

Yep The Dallas neighborhood of Highland Park, is the Beverly Hills of Texas, filled with rich "woke" leftists.
I was referring to November 22, 1963...
Just another example that, unfortunately, policing in America has changed. There are still Sgt. Joe Friday types around. But now there are Che Guevara types as well.
The Che Guevara types would be more than happy to throw every conservative into a re-education camp.
“These leftist morons just cant help themselves. Total lack of impulse control that is so common with them.”
Isn’t that the truth? There was another one reported earlier today about a similar posting by a police officer in Tulsa
Austin definitely at the top of the woke scales.
I’d put Dallas and San Antonio as tied for 2nd.
I can remember how Highland Park moms were falling all over themselves doing verbal obeisance to the BLM masters in 2020. One BLM member sent them all letters telling them that they should NOT send their children to Ivy league-type schools to allow for their black babies to go instead. They ate it up.
Does Arturo want criminals to have better aim on his fellow police? Fire his leftist butt with no additional bennies.
Then shake hands with the devil.
The Dallas City Council has a history of being stocked with DemoRat leftards.
That is my understanding. Austin and Dallas in that unfortunate order. Cambridge, Ithaca, Madison, Austin, and Berkeley.
It’s a Murderer’s Row...pun intended in this context.
We have the multiple members of high level law enforcement leadership, political leaders , media talking heads and Congressional staffers openly stating on social media that they wished President Trump had his head blown off by the shooter.
I think it's safe say that the American people can be excused for speculating if perhaps some of their close colleagues in government conspired to help them realize their dream.
There are a few pics of him...looks like a soy-boy to me.
DEI hire, no doubt. Certainly not a cop by merit.
What an idiot.
We can all have mean thoughts roam through our heads from time to time, but most of us know to keep our mouths shut.
I never wanted anyone to die, but I’ve certainly held back from saying things that shouldn’t be said pretty regularly.
The left is in a major panic and they know DJT is the man to beat this time around.
They just can’t hide their panic.
Have to wonder what his reaction was to the murder of 5 Dallas officers a few years ago. His support of BLM shows he clearly has chosen sides.
Sounds like Defective Arturo got his wish.. And defunded himself.
Look for him to hired by the secret service later this year.
War is coming. Too many of them at all levels want us dead to think there can be reconciliation. I never wanted to be younger than I am but I wish I was now.
I must be missing something. I couldn’t find the guy’s Post in the article
