Philadelphia Paramedic Sorry for Posting Photo of Black Men Pointing Gun at Cop

 BY DAVID BOROFF/New York Daily News

A Philadelphia Fire Department paramedic has come under fire for posting an Instagram photo of two black men pointing guns at a white police officer with the caption \”Our real enemy.\”

The still was taken from a music video for the song \”Hands Up\” by Brooklyn rappers Uncle Murda and Maino. Paramedic Marcell Salters, who has apologized for the post, was criticized by city officials on Thursday.

\”We celebrate the exercise of our First Amendment right to expression,\” Mayor Michael Nutter told Philly.com, \”but there are clear limits, and this posting went far beyond standards of decency. Inflammatory speech or behavior like this is simply irresponsible and could potentially incite others to inappropriate actions.\”

A contrite Salters said the post was inspired to a large degree by the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases. \”In regards to my previous post (the police picture).. I would like to deeply apologize to anyone I have offended,\” he wrote on Facebook.  (continue to read)
