TARBORO, N.C. (WNCN) — “Damn. Only about an inch away from making America great again…”
Those 11 words have put a 24-year veteran member of the Tarboro Police Department on administrative leave pending an internal investigation. A screenshot of the post shared with CBS 17 shows the post made by Detective Sergeant Brandon Richardson.
Tarboro Chief of Police Rick Mann confirmed on Monday that Richardson is now under investigation.
On Monday, Chief Mann took to Facebook to address the post which has gained a wide range of reactions.
“We take this matter very seriously, as it does not reflect the values and standards of our department,” Chief Mann said in the post. “We understand that such incidents can affect public trust, and we are dedicated to handling this matter with the seriousness and accountability it deserves.”
Chief Mann said the department took “immediate steps to address the situation.” He said that included placing Richardson on administrative leave and launching an internal investigation to “determine the context and details surrounding the post.”
To continue to maintain their high standards of professionalism and integrity, the chief said the department will also be reviewing its social media policies to ensure they align with best practices and “clearly communicate our expectations.”

The guy is absolute scum.
Stupid way to end a career.
Never believe that democrats are good people. They are thugs and they support evil.
They like threatening people and ruining their lives.
And they accuse you of every awful name in the book, if you dare oppose them.
“24 year veteran”
So worst case he is fired with a 6 figure a year retirement. Disgusting.
what a retard
So much for the Constitution with this guy. Every arrest he has ever made should be audited.
Let’s hope so.
Just a year away from his pension
He’s about to be “let go Brandon”
No photo of him ?
just like in the military.its the rank of the uniform!!!not who fills it!!
Social media can be like a minefield for idiots.
But good riddance to a “lawman” with the heart of a murderer.
Posting stupid comments has consequences.
That’s at least three police officer wishing death to Trump in the past two days:
* Tulsa
* Houston
* Tarboro
They are all on “administrative leave” pending investigation.
There are probably others I have not read about.
When to make it worse for the guy.
Advise that since he’s under investigation, he is prohibited from filing his retirement paperwork, til the investigation is complete. Termination can take away his pension and benefits
How things gave changed. When my dad was a fireman in the 1960’s we were not even allowed to have a political sign in our yard. Civil service employees in our town were not allowed to openly share their political views. It may seem draconian, but the rule served a purpose.
It must be comforting having police officers who wish death on those they disagree with
Here’s hoping.
