SAN JOSE (KRON) — Community activists and police watchdog groups banded together on Wednesday to protest the reinstatement of San Jose police Ofc. Phil White, who was fired last fall for posting tweets seen by many as threatening and racist.
This happened outside the superior court Wednesday afternoon in San Jose.The N.A.A.C.P. announced it has filed a petition with the court calling for the reversal of an independent arbitrator’s decision to reinstate Ofc. White earlier this month.
The San Jose City Council is expected to consider a similar action next week.
