DETROIT (Reuters) - A Detroit prosecutor who said on Facebook that people involved in Baltimore rioting should be shot has resigned, after her comments ignited fierce criticism, the prosecutor's office said on Friday.
Wayne County Assistant Prosecutor Teana Walsh had posted comments about this week's unrest in Baltimore, which was sparked by the death of Freddie Gray after he was fatally injured in police custody, according to a screenshot of her page posted on MyFox Detroit.com.
She described "large swarms of people throwing bricks etc at police who are fleeing from their assaults" and then suggested using guns.
"Simple. Shoot em. Period. End of discussion," Walsh posted.
The comment, which was criticized by local defense attorneys, has since been taken down from Facebook and Walsh's page is not accessible.

Yes she is.
Her name is “Teana”? Need I ask?
IMO she should be fired for being so dumb as to post stuff on FB without thinking it through.
A white woman named Teana. What the hell were her parents thinking?
So, the name “Teana” does fit.
Some didn’t even read the name “Teana”. If they did then I guess they thought it was a man named “Teana”.
That is not a black woman with a regressive gene.
They should have been. If enough were hit they’d have destroyed less of their communities and innocent folks’ property.
Remember back when we were still America? You’d hear “Looters will be shot.”
Now you cannot even SAY it.
We are so screwed.
LOOTERS WILL BE SHOT!
She should run for President.
Now.
He She....Okay pronoun trouble as Daffy Duck would say. Either way I want that person working for me!!
“Some didnt even read the name Teana. If they did then I guess they thought it was a man named Teana.”
Remember we are in Obozo’s Amerika. Teana might be a he pretending to be a she. Here at FR even we are so shaken we don’t know anymore.
There was a time when looting was considered a shoot-on-sight offense. If it was that way today, we wouldn't have all the "protests" that we see.

Her mistake was in not being more specific -- automatic weapons would work best. Thanks cripplecreek.
She can get a job in Texas!!!
Not guilty!!!
When groups go wild as in riots or looting, I think you put it down with force. Sorry, but nobody forced rioters and looters to be out there.
If it’s a peaceful protest, even if not sanctioned, I think you have to allow it. When it goes rogue, all bets are off.
If a person decides to be a part of a protest that can go terribly wrong, they need to know their risks. They are betting their safety on the people out front and along the way, that can insight a riot.
A person needs to have an exit strategy ready, and use it rapidly if need be.
It should be realized, there are frequently agitators out there, hoping a violent situation will develop.
Detroit the comeback city. So happy to be just a bit north now.....how well I remember planning to come home to Michigan. And now I am here!!
