After arresting a wanted man whose Facebook page included a post taunting a Utah police department, police taunted him right back.
Orem police Lt. Craig Martinez said they were notified of the post days ago that showed a man standing in front of a patrol car. The caption used a derogatory term for police and questioned why they were in his “‘hood.”
By Tuesday, 24-year-old Richard Ramirez was arrested for the misdemeanor assault case. He couldn’t be reached for comment and it’s unclear if he has an attorney. Martinez said Ramirez was known to police and was wanted for arrest.
Police then posted a lengthy taunt back at the man, reclaiming Orem to be their “‘hood.”
Their Facebook post noted that the photo was at a 7-11 convenience store, calling it “super gangsta because nothing makes you look tougher than throwing up gangs signs while sipping on a banana and blueberry slurpee.” Police also said they arrested him with another wanted man and called it a “2fer.” The post ended with the hashtags “#sorrynotstorry” and “#thepokeyisyournewhood.”
Martinez said the police department responded publicly to the man after he publicly taunted them.
“We can do it right back,” Martinez said.
But in yet another social media twist, the police post got so much attention that the department decided to shield the post from public view because of inappropriate content, including vulgar language.
“There were racist comments, commenters fighting with each other,” Martinez said. “It was getting so ugly.”

Awesome. Two thumbs up to our men and women in blue. Criminals are dirtbags.
Amen to that Linda.
Amen.to two thumbs up.
Dirtbags….and worse, when on the right side of the law…. Edgrrr…
“’There were racist comments, commenters fighting with each other,’ Martinez said. ‘It was getting so ugly.’”
Reason “it was getting so ugly” is that there’s principle involved:
You cannot bring about good by doing evil. Not even in retaliation for evil!
The original post, which apparently is “the misdemeanor assault case” for which the poster was arrested, was evil. The police response post was also evil. And the police, who are supposed to be trained professionals, should know better!
Deport them and cleanup America. Break our laws goodbye one way ticket.
I hope President Trump will have his attorney general judge Napolitano indict and arrest Obama to NDAA prison, and officially expose the true facts about
Obama “The UsurperAlienJihadistEnemyofUSA-NOTeligibleforPOTUS”, and send him to NDAA prison, along with those people DNC Pelosi and Harry Reid, Hawaii’s Schatz, Abercrombie, Lingle, DOH Officials, et al; THEN, expose the true facts about Israeli Mossad/Bushes in 9/11/01 and Jews who benefitted big time with $3-Billion insurance payoffs for Twin Towers and Building 7 “terrorist attacks” ; and, Clintons in WACO mass murder of Americans, Ruby Ridge murders, and execute the arrests and prosecutions of the federal criminals and foreign criminals, who committed those murders under color of law: Clintons, Bushes, federal employees, and Israelis; then, arrest and prosecute for sedition the domestic race baiting terrorists of BLM, et al. Arrest Soros for sedition, too, along with Pelosi, Kerry, Holder, Lynch, Hillary, Michelle, etc etc. Prison for life for them, with CC cameras in each of their solitary cells so that Americans and the World can tune in and watch them at just 10¢ per view, income which will pay off the National Debt because it will be so popular, worldwide.
