The U.S. Naval Academy has opened an investigation into social media posts allegedly made by a midshipman that suggested police should shoot unarmed protesters and that Breonna Taylor received “justice” when she was shot and killed by police in Kentucky.
Among the tweets were one from President Trump's official re-election campaign and another in which the president disparaged the Democratic Party and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
The federal case began after 21-year-old Saudi Royal Air Force officer, 2nd Lt. Mohammed Alshamrani, opened fire at Naval Air Station Pensacola, killing three U.S. sailors and injuring eight other people.
