Prosecutors are now reviewing all pending criminal cases involving a Charleston, W.V., police lieutenant who was suspended last month when a racially charged video surfaced of his young daughter dancing to a song popular with the Ku Klux Klan as the officer allegedly eggs her on off camera.

The officer, Shawn Williams, a 16-year veteran of the department and the head of the patrol division, allegedly can be heard on the video using 鈥渄erogatory racial language,鈥� according to , which interviewed two people who said they saw the recording.

On the video, which was discovered on Williams鈥� home computer, the girl is dressed in police-style clothing and, according to the Gazette, dancing, to a KKK anthem that includes the lines, 鈥淪tand up and be counted, show the world that you鈥檙e a man. Stand up and be counted, go with the Ku Klux Klan.鈥�

The mayor of Charleston, Danny Jones, would not say what was on the video because of the ongoing investigation. 鈥淭here have been allegations made and there鈥檚 some evidence,鈥� Jones told Hatewatch today. 鈥淏ut the investigation hasn鈥檛 matured yet.鈥�

Jones聽said the video was given to the police department by a source he would not name. 鈥淲illiams is going through a sticky divorce,鈥� he added.

Jones said someone outside of the department also leaked the story about the video and the internal police investigation of Williams.

Williams, the mayor said, 鈥渃ut a wide swath as a city police officer. He looked the part. He carried himself well.鈥�

Jack Kessler, a prominent defense lawyer in Charleston, said he talked with Williams in recent days about the case and will likely represent him. Kessler said the department has charged Williams with violating the law enforcement code, the Charleston Police Department mission statement and of unbecoming conduct.

Williams, the son of a state trooper, was placed on paid administrative leave in late September.

In a news release Thursday, the office of Kanawha County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Plants said he had ordered a聽review of all of Williams pending criminal cases. During the review and investigation, the release said, Williams will not be relied upon as a witness in any of the cases.

Jones, the mayor, 聽said his office would not cooperate with Plants, the prosecuting attorney. Plants has legal trouble of his own for allegedly beating his 11-year-old son with a belt.

Plants, according to the Gazette, was charged with domestic violence in the incident and a circuit court judge has barred his office from handling charges similar to the ones Plants鈥� faces. Plants, the mayor said, could be removed from office soon.

鈥淲e鈥檒l talk with a prosecutor, just not that prosecutor,鈥� the mayor told Hatewatch, adding that the police have been working closely on the Williams investigation with one of Plants鈥� tops assistants. 鈥淲e just had a meeting with them, but Plants wasn鈥檛 allowed in the room.鈥�

Hatewatch called Plants today, seeking a comment, but he did not return the call.

Jones said Charleston has 162 police officers, but only 10 are black. He said in recent weeks, police chief Brent Webster has been meeting with black ministers about maintaining and improving good police community relations after watching the turmoil in Ferguson, Missouri. Jones said he hoped the recent controversy within the Charleston department will not hinder those efforts.

One of the ministers at the recent meetings with police was the Rev. Ronald English, who Martin Luther King Jr. mentored as a boy and young man in Atlanta. 鈥淲e鈥檝e felt very good lately, that we鈥檝e come a long way in developing a connection and communication with the police,鈥� English said. 鈥淭his incident really seemed so strange. It鈥檚 not something we expected. The chief wants to support his officers. At the same time he鈥檚 been supportive of the African American community. He鈥檚 in a delicate position.鈥�
