ALBANY, N.Y.--The acting Albany police chief fired back on social media and in a press conference after a critical Facebook post that blasted the mayor and anti-violence organizations for not doing enough in the wake of the violent crime wave in the city.

"That's my job to fix that and anyone who gets in the way of that -- I'm coming for them," said Acting Albany Police Chief Robert Sears.

Police union vice president Greg Mcgee accused of posting the message on the Albany Police Union's Facebook page saying the police department is lacking uniforms, updated equipment and blaming Mayor Kathy Sheehan for a police department stretched too thin.

The post read in part: "The morale gets lower and lower each day due to the mayor's actions. The mayor has allowed the department to become such an understaffed mess, and it’s time the mayor answers as to why she has let it get this way."

The post also singled out Albany Cure Violence, an organization that worked in part with a group that shooting victim, Elijah Cancer, belonged to.

"What exactly does Cure Violence do besides show up to crime scenes and the hospital smelling to high heaven like marijuana," the post read.

Four people were shot over the weekend in two separate shooting incidents, according to police. Anti-violence advocate Elijah Cancer was swept up in the deadly crime wave when he was shot Saturday morning while trying to break up a fight. The total number of violent incidents is up to 11 since July 4.

The Trinity Alliance defending its members in a number of Facebook posts touting their success in helping to lower gun violence in the city.

"The young man who lost his life he was doing something he was trained to do he came back to his community and wanted to make a difference these are the things we should be focusing on," Albany Common Council President Corey Ellis said.

"They are a valuable resource, and it's a group I have support since they started here however many years ago," Sears said.

Mayor Kathy Sheehan rushed to Albany Cure Violence's defense online, demanding an apology on their behalf. Sears says although the post has been taken down, the damage is done.
