HOLYOKE, Mass. (AP) A Massachusetts police officer who posted a video online alleging corruption within his department says he has been placed on paid administrative leave after refusing to take it down and will probably lose his job.
Holyoke Officer Rafael Roca, a former Marine hired in 2016, said in the 43-minute video posted on YouTube that Chief Manny Febo is “corrupt” and plays favorites, and he argued that members of minority groups are passed over for plum assignments and that discipline is handed out selectively.
He also called for the FBI or the state attorney general’s office to investigate the department.
