an Bernardino Deputy DA, Michael Selyem, is under investigation for profanity-laced racial slurs posted online against Maxine Walters and Michelle Obama. San Bernardino County District Attorney Michael Selyem is accused of making profanity-laced comments about Rep. Maxine Waters, former first lady Michelle Obama and Mexican immigrants. Selyem called Waters a loudmouth who he thought someone in the ghetto would have shot by now. He also said a Mexican immigrant shot by police got what he deserved.
Selyem, who has been a lead attorney in the Central Hardcore Gang Unit for 12 years, faces disciplinary action that could include termination, District Attorney Michael Ramos said. Ramos said he was offended by the comments and was especially concerned with comments that involved officerinvolved shootings, cases that prosecutors handle on a daily basis.
