The DC firefighter at the center of an investigation into an anti-cop Facebook rant had a chance to explain himself to reporters. Tuesday, DC Firefighter Norman Brooks posted some harsh comments toward Baton Rouge police who shot and killed a black man, Alton Sterling.
Brooks watched a video of the shooting, and posted this on Facebook:

They are gonna let them PIGS go free and probably start a gofundme and make em millionaires…….
