A Long Beach police officer is “relieved from employment,” according to the department after photos of him standing over a pool of blood, holding a baton were found posted on social media.
“Our organization is dedicated to our community and we must build upon the relationships we have while continuing to develop and foster new relationships,” Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna said in a statement. “We hold our employees to the highest standards and will not ignore behavior that erodes public trust.”
Delgado deleted the picture from his Instagram story, but not before one of his siblings picked up the image and added a caption of his own, "Bro getting his," according to Buzzfeed.
