Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor has been suspended without pay pending an internal affairs investigation into his conduct during the investigation into the death of Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe. The suspension comes after Proctor’s controversial testimony and the revelation of offensive text messages he sent regarding the girlfriend and alleged killer of Officer O’Keefe.
During the trial of the accused, Proctor admitted to using derogatory language in his texts, referring to the defendant as a “wack job c**t” and “retarded.” He also made fun of her Crohn’s disease and Fall River accent, and even expressed a hope that she would take her own life. These revelations have led to widespread condemnation of Proctor’s behavior.
