Local NPR affiliate WBFO identified the dispatcher as Bob Marth.

In a screenshot of the Facebook post, obtained by both local news station WKBW and NPR affiliate WBFO, Marth appears to suggest that police "shoot to kill" protesters.

"Enough is enough !!! what is going on is uncalled for," the post reads.

In the post, protesters are also compared to "rabid out of control" animals.

Last week, the department faced backlash after a video captured officers pushing a 75-year-old protesters to the ground.

Two police officers were charged with assault after being suspended. Additionally, all of the 57 officers resigned from the department's Emergency Response Team in protest of their suspension.
