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.

I laugh at liberals, especially women, who want all those extra leftist voters, let’s say of the horde of many millions of illegal invaders (or incompatible legal immigrants for same reasons), 5% could be dangerous felons including rapists, 70% are likely to be future welfare bums who might occasionally cut a liberal’s lawn and do their dishes for half the going rate but raise their taxes by ten times more, and 25% are probably future social conservatives opposed to their woke socialist agenda, including not a few very macho male chauvinists who view and treat women and girls in the “old-fashioned way.”
I guess liberals view all this as short term gain for long term pain they can deny until it cannot be denied. And living mostly in cities where the illegals will congregate, the pain will fall mostly on them anyway. Out here in the boondocks, few illegals will settle (I’m speaking from across the border anyway but there are similar tendencies in Canada and in all “western” countries to some extent). Our bucolic deplorable lives will not change as much, and that’s a good thing.
It’s a classic case of be careful what you wish for. “You’re right, Trump is a terrible man. Gotta run, Venezuelan home invaders at the door.”
If you're that stupid to bring that type of attention down on you, you didn't belong in the job to begin with.
Probably one of the many police officers owned by the cartels.
Being a troublemaker and a disruptor so the criminals have more lee way.
Did Libs Of TikTok out this guy? Chaya Raichik has been hitting these idiots with fire and brimstone...counting coup on the ones that get fired. Trump supporters are forwarding any of these comments to her...and she goes on the warpath doing God’s Work.
Then there’s this gem:
We wish they would change, they wish we would die.
When it equalizes, you get ... Yugoslavia 1991.
Anybody keeping a master list?
Arturo reflects badly on the brotherhood of blue if there such a thing anymore.
Cops used to be tough and smart and when one of the brethren got out of line they had their ways to discipline him.
But the ranks are so populated with DEI’s that this guy being put in line is nigh impossible.
100% agree. The cop is a Leftist turd in any case. I doubt he will lose his job, though. Protect their own and all.
Asterisks mine.
