Following two incidents of posted hate speech within the City of Saline, the city issued an official statement and a condemnation.
"Hate speech and vandalism of that nature will not be tolerated in our community," said City Manager Colleen O'Toole at the Nov. 21 city council meeting.
Stickers depicting hate speech were found on two different occasions earlier in November after citizens reported them to the city.
“Our DPW (Department of Public Works) responded very swiftly to get out and remove those stickers, and our police department responded by opening an investigation into the matter," O'Toole said.
"This may sound like a relatively mundane response, but I’d like to stress that that is the response we will always have," O'Toole said. "Our entire team is in lockstep in responding in this manner to swiftly to take that kind of speech out our community, and to make it clear that it’s not welcome here."
O'Toole also requested that residents who have information about the incidents contact the police department at (734) 429-7911. To report vandalism on private property directly contact DPW at (734) 429-5269.
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!
I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
