POMONA, NY – Rockland County Sheriff Lou Falco Under Fire: News12 has uncovered a racist post shared by the Sheriff on his personal Facebook page.

The article, entitled “Racist Black Thugs Shoot White Baby in the Face for the Fun of It,” is referring to an incident that occurred in 2013 in Georgia. Sheriff Falco told News12 that he shared the post by mistake and that he meant to share it through Facebook Messenger privately.

The article which can be seen below, is from a pro-white supremacist news outlet.

Wilbur Aldridge of the Rockland County NAACP, says the content is especially concerning because he is a public servant appointed to serve the people. News 12 reached out to the Rockland County Executive Ed Day but has not heard back. We will update this post when Day responds.

Calls for Sheriff Falco’s resignation have already begun. Sources tell us that protests are being organized and will be announced in the coming days. Video by News 12 Hudson Valley.

Congratulations to Todd Reinertsen and Scott Nava working Medic 1 for a great job this morning saving 5 adults and 4 children with carbon monoxide poisoning. Medic 1 responded to a residence in Garnerville for a woman complaining of headache and nausea. While assessing the woman, the portable carbon monoxide detectors carried by our paramedics for many years began alerting to high levels of CO in the house. Todd and Scott quickly evacuated the house and determined that all residents were feeling sick with headaches and nausea. Their quick action saved lives today.

All 9 family members were transported to Montefiore Nyack with two ambulances from Haverstraw Ambulance Corps, Inc. and one from Congers-Valley Cottage Volunteer Ambulance Corps. for evaluation and treatment. In addition SW Johnson Fire Department (Department 23) responded and confirmed carbon monoxide was present in the house. Great teamwork everyone!
