Cop Resigns After Etching Swastika Into Vehicle

A police officer in Massachusetts who allegedly scratched a swastika into the paint of another officer’s personal vehicle resigned Wednesday following an internal investigation into the incident.

Officer Timothy Tufts, who joined the Marblehead Police Department in March 2016, resigned from the force Wednesday following the outcome of the internal investigation, Chief Robert Picariello said in a statement.

“I am dismayed and deeply disturbed by this incident,” Picariello said Wednesday. “Today, there is no room for excuses of ignorance. The swastika is a symbol of hate and genocide, and we must speak up against acts of hate and hate speech whenever and wherever we encounter it. I apologize to our community for this deeply disturbing and unfortunate situation, and I vow to do everything and engage every resource available to ensure that this kind of incident does not repeat itself in the future.”
