The Virginian-Pilot(Norfolk, Va.)

The 9-1-1 dispatcher who made a controversial Facebook post about a shooting involving a police officer has been suspended during an employee investigation, city spokeswoman Lori Crouch said Thursday.

Jessica Camarillo made the comment on the day after Joshua “Omar” Johnson, 22, was fatally shot by a police officer at a Ghent Wells Fargo. Police said the officer fired because he feared for his partner’s life.

The Facebook comment, seen by members of the public, read: “I think the officers should sue the family for putting the officers lives in danger, making detectives work past the time they were suppose to get off, the gas it took for them to get to the scene, the bullets used, the hospital bills, the equipments needed for forensics, and making me work the channel instead of reading my hot sexy book…LOL.”

Camarillo made the comment on the Facebook page of a retired police officer.

Park Place resident Diane Hayes was one of the people who saw it, and she told the City Council at a meeting that it was inappropriate.

Norfolk does not have a policy governing employee use of social media. However, Crouch said in an email, the city does have a business conduct policy that requires employees to “use good judgment, behave responsibly, display appropriate workforce behavior and demonstrate the values of accountability, innovation, integrity and respect.”
