A bullet-riddled photo of President Barack Obama posted to a cop’s Facebook page has attracted the attention of the Secret Service.
The picture on the facebook page of Peoria police sergeant Pat Shearer depicts seven young men, four of them holding automatic weapons, and one displaying a black t-shirt with an image of Obama that is bullet-riddled and slashed.
According to published reports, a citizen alerted the Secret Service to the image which has since been removed from Shearer’s Facebook page.
“Any time information like this is brought to our attention we have to conduct a follow-up,” Max Milien, spokesman for the Secret Service, said, according to AZcentral.com.
“We understand an individual’s right to free speech but we also have the right to speak to the individual to determine what their intent is,” Milien added.
