*when Univision, of all networks, airs you out for racism, MFer you are doing too much !!
The recently fired Oakland police officer accused of posting racist messages to Facebook a dozen years ago tearfully denied having authored the statements that appeared to often target Black people and Guatemalans with slurs and expletives.
The officer’s Facebook page included repeated uses of the N-word and described a “hate” for Black people, according to posts that were captured by Univision. The 30-year-old officer, Jocelyn Chang Newman, was a February 2023 graduate of the police department’s 190th Basic Recruit Academy and had been working on patrol, though it’s unclear where in the city she worked.
In a phone interview Friday, Chang Newman wept while adamantly denying having made the posts — blaming them instead on her ex-husband, with whom she shares three children. She said access to her Facebook account had been limited at times by him during a marriage plagued by abuse, and that she could think of no other way those statements would have appeared online.
“The way I’m being portrayed is not who I am,” Chang Newman said. “How am I going go say something so messed up if my brother is half-Guatemalan, half-Mexican? I don’t agree with any of the statements. I don’t agree with the statements saying ‘I hate Black people.’ I don’t. And honestly, anyone that knows me well enough or has seen me, they don’t perceive me that way, because I’m not that way. I don’t act like that.”
“I just don’t have the words, because I’m speechless,” she added. “The way I’m being painted is not who I am.”
The messages obtained by Univision spanned from at least summer 2012 to spring 2013, and included multiple references to Black people as “ignorant.” They also appeared to repeatedly target people from Guatemala, describing “anything tainted” by people from that country as “nasty.”
“Exactly why I f—ing hate black ppl always have to take from hard working ppl/families that’s why karma lands them in a grave,” read one of the messages posted to Facebook in August 2012.
The Oakland Police Department said on Wednesday it had launched an internal affairs investigation on Feb. 2, immediately after a media outlet brought the alleged statements to its attention. OPD said it was working with the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office to investigate “any and all cases” that may be impacted by the officer’s alleged conduct.
“We’re going to do every single thing we can to get to the bottom of this,” Interim Assistant Chief Trevelyon Jones said in a recorded statement. “We have to have people here at the Oakland Police Department that love Oakland and care about the community. We cannot have people here who hold racist, hateful views serving our community.”
Chang Newman was on probationary status at the time of her firing, because she had yet to complete a full year of service. The employment status in Oakland stretches for 12 months and leaves people on it without many of the same abilities as full-fledged officers to fight firings, including a disciplinary hearing. Her termination on Feb. 2 came a day before the one-year anniversary of her academy graduation.
