Activists in Boston are calling for the removal of the city's second-highest paid employee from a key committee, after it emerged that he was an infamous police figure nicknamed 'Pepper Jack' for his liberal use of pepper spray, according to the Boston Globe.

An officer who appears to be Captain John 'Jack' Danilecki, who has been investigated more than 20 times, was caught on camera at a Black Lives Matter protest last month in the Massachusetts city, appearing to snatch a sign from a Haitian protester and ripping it up.

'He's like the avatar of cop violence in Boston,' said Joey Peters, 37, who told The Boston Globe he found himself on the wrong end of Danilecki's pepper spray canister during a protest last year.

The Haitian man was peacefully walking along the road, fellow activists claim, when his placard was seized.

In the moments before the encounter, captured on an eight-second video, an officer who appears to be Danilecki and other officers yelled at the group.

Someone within the group of officers allegedly told the protester to 'go back to the hood,' protesters told the Boston Globe.

The video does not capture the comment.

However, the person filming can be heard shouting, 'Are you going to tell him to go back to the hood again?'

An officer who appears to be Danilecki then grabs the sign and rips it apart.
