If this turns out bad, he can just get that disgusting thing removed.
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) --
A Philadelphia police officer is under fire after a member of the Philadelphia Coalition for Real Justice snapped an image of him, showing a tattoo of an eagle with the word "Fatherland" over it. An image the group claims is a Nazi insignia.
"This symbol, like it is a very clear, it's not like just a generic symbol of Germany, it's like specifically from the time around the Nazi-era," said Cornelius Moody, Philadelphia Coalition for Real Justice.
The group is demanding the officer be fired.
"The officer should be removed immediately. He shouldn't be paid while he is being investigated," said Moody.
The police administration says the matter is under review.
But Philadelphia FOP President John McNesby says the officer, who is of German heritage, was just trying to show his pride in the German-American Police Association, which he says uses a similar symbol, which he provided for us to see.
