Officers suspended over Facebook comments

HARRISON, New York The Harrison town attorney says the Board of Commissioners announced Thursday that Police Chief David Hall had suspended the officers with pay while officials investigate.

Town attorney Bob Palladino says the police chief had placed the three on modified duty earlier Thursday.

One detective reportedly made watermelon and fried chicken jokes about President Barack Obama on the social networking site. The detective and others reportedly ridiculed the Mayor Joan Walsh with sexual comments.

Calls to Walsh were referred to Palladino. Walsh told The Journal News, "I am appalled with their juvenile behavior."
