Kalyn Chapman James, the first black Miss Alabama, has been placed on administrative leave at her job with a local public television station in Miami for her comments on Facebook about last week's shooting deaths of five Dallas police officers.
The Miss Alabama pageant also distanced itself Monday from James' comments.
WPBT2, without using James' name, issued a statement on its Twitter account Monday afternoon stating that "WPBT2 South Florida PBS does not condone the personal statements made by one of its independent contractors regarding the events in Dallas."
