A Chicago police supervisor retired earlier this month amid an investigation into racist and other incendiary comments he made on a Facebook account he falsely claimed had been hacked.
supervisor retired earlier this month amid an investigation into racist and other incendiary comments he made on a Facebook account he falsely claimed had been hacked.
"Through his use of social media, Lt. Cannon has demonstrated that he is unable to treat all the citizens of Chicago with fairness and equity," it said. In Cannon’s case, COPA focused on 19 allegations related to the social media posts, 16 of which were sustained. One framed firefighters as homosexuals. Another proclaimed that former President Barack "Obama is Isis," with an edited photo of Obama wearing a hijab.
Cannon was publicly identified as "Samuel Hipster" — the name he used on Facebook — in June 2020 after he made a complaint against the former dean of the University of Illinois School of Law, where he studied. Cannon also claimed the student "hacked" into his "private Facebook account" and published its contents to "defame" him and "discredit his complaints."
Despite those claims, Cannon admitted to investigators he never noticed anyone else using his account and, for the most part, conceded he made the incendiary posts.
