Færslurnar hafa vakið mikla athygli og ýtt enn frekar undir áhyggjur manna af starfsháttum lögreglu í Bandaríkjunum sem mikið hefur verið rætt um að undanförnu, meðal annars í kjölfar dauða Freddie Gray.
Hinn 25 ára Gray lést af áverkum í umsjá lögreglu í Baltimore í apríl síðastliðinn og brutust út miklar óeirðir í borginni í kjölfar þess.
Í færslum sínum segir fyrrum lögreglumaðurinn meðal annars frá því að lögreglumenn hafi pissað og haft hægðir á rúm og föt grunaðra við húsleitir, að lögreglumaður hafi slegið til saklausrar konu sem rakst utan á lögreglumann þegar hún kom út úr verslun og fleira til.
