Activists in Boston are calling for the removal of the city's second-highest paid employee from a key committee, after it emerged that he was an infamous police figure nicknamed 'Pepper Jack' for his liberal use of pepper spray, according to the Boston Globe.
An officer who appears to be Captain John 'Jack' Danilecki, who has been investigated more than 20 times, was caught on camera at a Black Lives Matter protest last month in the Massachusetts city, appearing to snatch a sign from a Haitian protester and ripping it up.
'He's like the avatar of cop violence in Boston,' said Joey Peters, 37, who told The Boston Globe he found himself on the wrong end of Danilecki's pepper spray canister during a protest last year.
The Haitian man was peacefully walking along the road, fellow activists claim, when his placard was seized.
In the moments before the encounter, captured on an eight-second video, an officer who appears to be Danilecki and other officers yelled at the group.
Someone within the group of officers allegedly told the protester to 'go back to the hood,' protesters told the Boston Globe.
The video does not capture the comment.
However, the person filming can be heard shouting, 'Are you going to tell him to go back to the hood again?'
An officer who appears to be Danilecki then grabs the sign and rips it apart.

"Having yet to find an effective formula for undercutting Mr. Biden..., Mr. Trump is training more of his fire on the political process in a way that appears intended to give him the option of raising doubts about the legitimacy of the outcome."

Trump will try to shit stir his way to re-election. now claims protesters will destroy Jesus statues
“I think many of the people that are knocking down the statues don’t even have any idea what the statute is, what it means, who it is when they knocked it down,” Trump said during an unrelated press conference in the White House Rose Garden with Polish President Andrzej Duda, the first foreign leader to visit Washington since the coronavirus pandemic began.
“Now they are looking at Jesus Christ, they are looking at George Washington, Thomas Jefferson ... Not going to happen, not going to happen.”
Trump pledged he would sign an executive order later this week to protect U.S. monuments and harshly punish anyone who’s caught defacing them, regardless of the statue’s depiction.
