A member of New York’s police watchdog group once compared cops to the Ku Klux Klan in an outrageous social media message, the NYPD’s detectives’ union revealed, as they called on the city to “clean house” in the organization.
Civilian Complaint Review Board investigator Amadee Bility implied cops and the KKK are one and the same in a 2020 Facebook post, according to a screen shot of the entry.
“The reason u don’t see cops shutting down KKK rallies is the same reason u don’t see hannah montana and miley cyrus sitting in the same room,” her post read.
Bility also posted picture of a man in a police uniform kissing another man, under the words: “Cops when Trump supporters break into the U.S. Capitol building.”
The postings were scrubbed from Bility’s Facebook page after the Detectives’ Endowment Association reported them Friday to the CCRB, the independent watchdog group charged with investigating the public’s complaints against cops.
A detective who was supposed to have an interview with Bility this week disovered the postings when he looked her up online, a union official said.
DEA President Scott Munro said the CCRB needs to “clean house.”
“The DEA will not allow detectives to sit across the table from a disgraceful CCRB investigator who has publicly compared the police to the KKK and pushed the disgusting narrative that cops assault the people they protect,” DEA President Scott Munro said in a statement. “Her own words make it crystal clear: she hates cops and has no business investigating them.”
Bility, a former NYPD Explorer, a program for teens interested in police work, wont be doing any interviews with cops until the probe was complete, an agency source said.
Bility didn’t return a call seeing comment.
This isn’t the first time CCRB investigators have been called out for anti-cop social media posts.
The PBA released the names of several investigatorsin May after finding anti-police bias on their social media.
CCRB spokesman Dakota Gardner said the agency is investigating the newest posts.
“The CCRB takes allegations of bias on the part of its staff extremely seriously,” Gardner said. “The Agency was notified of the Detective’s concerns on Friday and agreed to postpone the interview pending an investigation.”
