Mark McNamara, the officer who shot and wounded K’aun Green at a downtown taqueria in March 2022, was being investigated by internal affairs when the offensive messages surfaced.
last year — in which the wounded man broke up a fight and had disarmed a gunman before he was shot — has resigned over the discovery of racist text messages he wrote, including some making light of the shooting and one that said “I hate Black people.”
A dossier of text messages investigated by the department appear to show McNamara talking to two unnamed recipients — described only as one active department employee and a former department employee — and at some point, referencing the March 27, 2022 shooting of K’aun Green. “I finally had to tell this city attorney what’s what,” one text reads. “I’m like dude, I don’t give a shit about this case. I’m white, he’s black, he’s gonna win. AND I DONT CARE. It’s a b—- whatever they decide has no bearing on me what so ever. It’s basically kangaroo court.”
Mata said he was prohibited from speaking further about the officer on leave, but said the officer’s participation in the text exchange was “not as egregious” as what McNamara wrote, but was nonetheless “concerning.” Mahan lauded Mata and the department for disclosing the scandal “in the spirit of full transparency.”
