Teana Walsh, right, pictured in court. A Facebook post by an assistant Wayne County prosecutor ignited a heated reaction. Social media has been buzzing with millions of people offering opinion of the powder keg on the streets in Baltimore. One particular post on Facebook is creating controversy of it's own. Teana Walsh is an attorney in the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office. Her personal Facebook page had this post. "So I am watching the news in Baltimore and see large swarms of people throwing bricks, etc at police who are fleeing from their assaults ... 15 in the hospital already. Solution. Simple. Shoot em. Period. End of discussion. I don't care what causes the protestors to turn violent...what the 'they did it because' reason is...no way is this acceptable. Flipping disgusting." The post was eventually taken down. But not before Detroit defense attorney Cliff Woodards saw it. His reaction? "I was appalled," he said. "I was stunned, I was shocked, I was outraged." Woodards said he was moved to the point of writing his own Facebook response to the post on Teana Walsh's page. "What I said about it was that a prosecutor is a member of the law enforcement community," he said. "You can't decide that you are going to execute the law in judgement without due process. Walsh is currently on maternity leave. FOX 2 received this statement from the office of the Wayne County prosecutor: "APA Teana Walsh is known for her great work ethic and her compassion for victims of crime and their families. Her post was up on line briefly and she immediately took it down. The post was completely out of character for her and certainly does not reflect the person that we know." Defense attorney Lillian Diallo said the Facebook posting surprised her. "It's very disappointing," she said. "This is a person sworn to uphold the law - as we all are. We just fall on different sides, prosecutor, defense. And to put something out there so incendiary that so disrespects the community in which you serve, and the people you serve. It's repugnant. "Not all the people in Baltimore are doing that. There are professionals there, that are peaceful. "However, you have the response to their frustration of throwing bricks to shoot and kill them." FOX 2 tried to reach Walsh but did not hear back by deadline. No mention of discipline for Walsh was given by the prosecutor's office.

What a dumbass. Few lawyers are so stupid.
I think she merely stated the obvious. Everybody has the innate right to defend themselves from bodily injury, imho.
There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
This damages her professionally as a prosecutor. It won't help her chances of ever becoming a judge, even in a corrupt Blue State. No, she's a monumental dumbass who has harmed her own career by posting twaddle on Facebook.
So, Detroit defense attorney Cliff Woodards, what's your reaction to a mere Facebook posting? "I was appalled." "I was stunned, I was shocked, I was outraged." Uh-huh. And what's your rection to large swarms of people throwing bricks, etc. at police who are fleeing from their assaults, with 15 in the hospital already. Well, we have to understand their frustrations.
Whew! This is college-level Ebonics, only spoken by blacks in positions of authority trying to sound smart. Beyond my level.
Sounds like something misterwhite would post. Come to think of it, isn't he a lawyer too?
Yeah. Only mayors of major cities, like Mayor Richard J. Daley, can say stupid things like "Shoot to kill". (And he'd still be mayor if he didn't die of a heart attack.)
It warms the cockles of my heart. Put police snipers on the roof so innocents aren't hit. Anyone seen throwing a rock at police, one shot to the head. Hell, after the first one has his brains scattered over the crowd, that should put an end to any rioting.
She can run for Mayor in Chicago.
Whew! This is college-level Ebonics, only spoken by blacks in positions of authority trying to sound smart. True! If blacks do it we must contort our minds to understand their frustration, even if their life style predestines their frustration. If whites were to do it it's simply "Kill the crackers."
I don't see how. Everyone has the right to self-defense. No one is required to be the target of deadly weapons without being able to defend themselves. And it's unreasonable to demand that anyone should be. Seems self evident to me.

This prosecutor was on maternity leave, not at the front of the police riot line. Her fitness as an officer of the court is in question after saying that the rioters should be shot out of hand.
No longer...
People aren't smart. They must wait until they retire to speak their mind. If you are paid by tax funds you aren't allowed an opinion... and if you ask Deckard, you aren't allowed constitutional rights, either.
Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
There are some dumb people....and yes, that includes Deckard.
And another cowardly bozo sniper shit-stain weighs in.
Okay, it looks like that Facebook post didn't hurt her career one bit, cranky. Nice catch, Gatlin. BTW, she's still a dumbass.
That's ridiculous on the face of it. What she said was "So I am watching the news in Baltimore and see large swarms of people throwing bricks, etc at police who are fleeing from their assaults ... 15 (police) in the hospital already. Solution. Simple. Shoot em (the brick throwers). Period. End of discussion. I don't care what causes the protestors to turn violent...what the 'they did it because' reason is...no way is this acceptable. Flipping disgusting." People have a right to protect themselves and their property the best way they see fit.

You seem to think a government job is the be all, end all to a successful career. you could be wrong, you know. There may be better ways to earn a living that by being a bureaucrat.
There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
So being forced to resign in disgrace and making the national news is actually a sign of a tremendous advancement for her career?
That's a really silly assumption. As for making the national news being an advancement for her career, only time will tell.
There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
I hadn't realized how dumb you are.
You have no idea.
There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
Yeah,and they aren't the ones that would get shot for throwing bricks,looting stores,setting fire to cars,assaulting motorists and pedestrians,etc,etc,etc.

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
