Pete Lucido, POS

OP's note: That's my headline, not the Free Press'


(Detroit Free Press) Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido apologized Friday for a social media post quoting Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee on his birthday, adding that the post was “inappropriate.”

“On my behalf, my communications director posts information about the office and occasionally current affairs on the Prosecutor’s Office social media sites. On Thursday, Robert E. Lee’s birthday, a post was made quoting his statement on the cruelty of war, thinking it was historically significant and not thinking the post needed my review.”

“Unfortunately, the greater context of Robert E. Lee, his support of the Confederate states, relationship to our shameful slave history and the hurtful nature of commemorating him to many in our community, was not considered,” he said. “I understand such a post was inappropriate and immediately had it taken down when I became aware of it.” ............(more)
