Greenburgh Police Investigate Officer for Allegedly Making Racist Facebook Post

Greenburgh Police Off. Brad DiCairano, a 28-year veteran of the force, is being investigated for allegedly making a racist Facebook post, according to The Journal News.

The post, which was brought to Police Chief Chris McNerney’s attention this week, compared African-Americans protesters to baboons. It has since been removed.
