The tide is turning.

A healthcare executive who made a statement on Facebook about police shooting black children has been placed on administrative leave, according an RWJBarnabas spokeswoman.
Michellene Davis, an executive vice president and chief corporate affairs officer for RWJ Barnabas, “has been placed on administrative leave pending the completion of an investigation,” spokeswoman Ellen Greene told NJ Advance Media in a statement late Thursday afternoon.
The move comes after Davis commented on a NorthJersey.com article that her friend shared on Facebook. It detailed plans for armed police officers at schools in Fair Lawn.
“Who is going to train them not to shoot black children first?!?” Davis said in the comment. It did not appear on a public post, but screenshots were circulated on social media.
Davis posted a public apology to her Facebook Thursday morning, calling her own words “extremely insensitive and offensive,” and proclaiming her respect for those working in law enforcement.
By Thursday afternoon, her Facebook page appeared to have been deleted.
