About the Project In the summer of 2016, a team of attorneys in Philadelphia learned that numerous local police officers had posted content on Facebook that appeared to endorse violence, racism and bigotry. In some of these posts, officers commented that apprehended suspects—often black men— “should be dead” or “should have more lumps on his head.” In other Facebook conversations, officers advocated shooting looters on sight and using cars to run over protestors. Numerous posts deemed Islam “a cult, not a religion” and referred to Muslims as “savages” and “goat-humpers.” And, in still others, officers appeared to joke about beating and raping women. This discovery inspired the creation of the Plain View Project (PVP), a research project that has identified thousands of Facebook posts and comments by current and former police officers. We believe that these statements could erode civilian trust and confidence in police, and we hope police departments will investigate and address them immediately.
Of course, that doesn't say no public funds were used, but that's the best I've got so far.
Ya'll just love to focus on the wrong thing.

That looks like the worst of what's been posted. Some of it does look pretty innocuous, albeit dumb to post publicly as an officer.
Edit: That's only the Dallas officers apparently.

The implication is that what you’re focusing on is 100% the right thing.
