Gang prosecutor, Michael Selyem took time out of his busy day to threaten Maxine Waters by wishing someone would shoot her and call her a c*nt.
Deputy District Attorney Michael Selyem, who joined the D.A.s Office 12 years ago, targeted outspoken U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, former first lady Michelle Obama, Mexican immigrants and the victim of a police shooting in Facebook and Instagram posts labeled by one critic as hateful rhetoric.
Of Waters, Selyem said: Being a loud-mouthed c#nt in the ghetto you would think someone would have shot this bitch by now

Selyem also posted a doctored picture of Michelle Obama holding a sign saying, Trump grabbed my penis.

A common defense I see more and more. Probably also include some kind of needs to spend time with family, respect his privacy and rededication of life to Jesus

On June 28, 2018, we received information regarding negative comments posted online by one of our prosecutors, Ramos said in a statement. At that time, we took immediate steps to initiate a personnel investigation.
The statement added: Deputy District Attorney Michael Selyem will be on administrative leave pending the conclusion of the formal investigation which could result in disciplinary action leading up to termination.
As reported by The San Bernardino Sun, Selyem, who the paper identified as the lead hard-core gang prosecutor in the DAs office, said in a Facebook comment referring to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA): Being a loud-mouthed c#nt in the ghetto you would think someone would have shot this bitch by now
In another instance, he said of the victim of a police shooting: That sbag got exactly what he deserved. You reap what you sow.

Go back 50, 100 years or more and you'd find it
My grandfather (born in 1905) told stories of some of the things that elected officials and other 'professionals' said about one another and it wasn''t pretty and sometimes it was threatening
