Two-week suspension for Sioux Rapids police chief over social media post

June 29, 2020 By Radio Iowa Contributor

The Sioux Rapids City Council has decided on disciplinary action for their Chief of Police over a comment he made on social media.

Chief Tim Porter posted a comment on an image of a truck attempting to drive through a crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters in Des Moines. It read: “Hit the Gas and Hang on over the speed bumps.” Porter later apologized for the post, saying it was made on the wrong post.

After a closed session tonight, the city council decided on two weeks’ suspension without pay and to have the council and Porter take a sensitivity course.
