The supervisor of juvenile probation officers, accused of mocking the kids they are hired to help, has called their actions “inappropriate.”
The probation officers work at the Tulsa County Family Center for Juvenile Justice (FCJJ), 500 W. Archer. Recently posted photos* are drawing a strong reaction on social media over their costume choices. They are reportedly pointing real guns at the camera, wearing what police consider gang attire, and flashing gang signs during some type of event at the office. The photos were posted by one of the employees on Facebook and have since been deleted. A Facebook page called Page Six posted them , attributing the pictures to an anonymous “reader.” Page Six’s About section describes the page as “Oklahoma’s column about alleged [il]legal affairs.”
The majority of commenters are concerned about the guns pointed at the camera in the photos. One user commented, “First thing I learned in the gun safety class I took, was “never point your gun at something you’re not willing to shoot!” This entire photo shoot is insane. And yet I’m not surprised.”
