Ice leisurely strolled out of the room licking his chops. Barwig's entire lunch was gone....disappeared, vanished!" the post stated. 

The department also stated that Officer Ice had "invoked his fifth amendment right to remain silent" and was not cooperating with the investigation.

Since being shared, the post has amassed over 25,000 likes and 14,000 shares. "Release that innocent officer! Do I need to organize a protest outside headquarters?" said a user.

"We have been threatened with massive protests if we move forward with our investigation and/or charges. Plus the overall public just doesn't believe he is guilty.  No video has been produced. That being said Ofc Ice will not face any internal discipline or criminal charges," they wrote in the post.
