A North Carolina police officer who declared he was “Antifa” in a post on the social media app BlueSky was fired Monday by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, according to the News & Observer.
Brian Edwards, 37, served as a detention officer for the agency while making the posts and had been promoted to corporal in May, the News & Observer reported. Edwards’ posts included calls for subjecting “traitors” to “war crimes trials” and hinted at executing them.
“I maintain that the biggest mistake the US government has ever made was letting the traitors from the civil war back into our country without punishment,” Edwards posted on BlueSky, according to the X account “Mostly Peaceful.” “When this is over and the right wing is once again will not make that same mistake.”
“There will be war crimes trials and I can’t wait to see every one of them thrown into prison for the rest of their lives,” Edwards continued in the post. “It may even be time to bring back the guillotine.”
Edwards also posted photos of a guitar with the phrase “This Machine Kills Fascists” on his BlueSky account.
“We must maintain the public trust as we go about our mission to protect, serve, and treat everyone with dignity and respect,” Orange County Sheriff Charles Blackwood told the News & Observer after confirming Edwards’ termination for violating the office’s standards of conduct and social network policies.
