Officer Jason Montalbano saw the post on another site and said he took it to target ISIS, but below the mushroom cloud, it reads ‘It’s time we made peace with Islam.’
“My intention to posting it was to support aggressive action against the ISIS terrorist threat,” said Montalbano. “In retrospect, I understand the reference to Islam was overboard and offensive to Muslims and non-Muslims.”
