An assistant chief at the Estherwood Police Department in Louisiana,
Wayne Welsh, has resigned from his position after he recieved a backlash on a
racist post on his
facebook page on Sunday which depicted a woman holding a
young girl’s head under water in a bathtub, with the caption: “When your
daughters first crush is a little negro boy.”
Estherwood’s police chief, Ernest Villejoin, said on Wednesday that he
was shocked when he read the post. Adding that
Welsh had resigned and said the “situation has been taken care of.”
“When I found out about it, I couldn’t believe I had to call him. I
called him at work and asked him what the hell is going on,” Villejoin told
local news outlet KADN. “He done it. He said it and he realized what he had
done after he done it and he deleted it but it was too late.”
Welsh, who has since made his Facebook page private, appeared to be
surprised at the backlash because according to him, he didnt see anything wrong
in what he posted. However, on Monday, he apologized for his post in another
facebook post: The message read:
“It’s not against the law to share something on Facebook. It’s social
media. Internet". “Well, I’m sorry for what happen. Ya have a blessed
day.”
