    The school official told me that Michael Rosfeld had previously assaulted multiple Black students @ the University of Pittsburgh & was known as menace on campus, but that when he assaulted the son of a chancellor, the school finally took action.

    BREAKING: A high ranking school official at the University of Pittsburgh (@PittTweet) just confirmed for me that Officer Michael Rosfeld, who killed #AntwonRose, was fired after brutally assaulting a Black student. That student was the son of a chancellor at the university.

        So he did fit all the requirements to be a police officer. 1. You have to be a racist. 2. Ready to kill at sight. 3. Corrupt. 4. No morality.

        I will be damn! So did the police know his record and assume that was an asset for him to join the force? He was probably itching to kill someone Black. Black people are always the canary in the coal mine.

        Sounds like Pittsburgh police failed in their background checks, or did none.

        it's pennsylvania. it's more likely all the background checks came back with red flags & this made him more attractive as a hire. (as a resident of PA, my personal observation is... it's a free-for-all open season on othered here since this president took office)

        Can u imagine how much of a dickhead you have to be to get fired from one of those jobs? And for the officers to throw him under the bus means he must exceptionally sucked at his job.

        @CityPGH should never have hired Rosfeld. Wasn't there a background check? Why did the City's police dept hire Rosfeld? This tragedy could've been avoided--why wasn't it? Independent investigation needed. @nytimes @CharlesMBlow @maddow @amjoyshow @Lawrence @TheBeatWithAri

        Thank you for reaching out. This incident was tragic, our sympathies are with the family. It did not involve the City of Pittsburgh or its police bureau. East Pittsburgh is a suburb, with its own police force, named for its location east of our city.

        How is a person that is incapable of policing a college campus fit to police a city?

        if this account is accurate, then the police department that hired Rosfeld is responsible for Antwon's death, Rosfeld should spend the rest of his life in a prison not friendly to the melanin-deprived, and the U of Pittsburgh needs some schooling in a serious way, i.e., lawsuits.
