Brian Faustina, of North Bergen County, is being investigated after he shared a video in support of a protester being punched in the face, saying: 'Grow up b****es and get a job'

A 22-year veteran of the Port Authority Police Department is being investigated after praising a video online in which two anti-Trump protesters were violently assaulted.

Brian Faustina, of North Bergen County, shared a video of the protester being punched in the face, and posted above: 'Grow up b*****es and get a job.'

Two retired NYPD officers also commented in support of the attack, one saying: 'This should happen more often!' and another saying that the protesters all needed 'an a** kicking'.

In the video, an aggressive altercation takes place between pro and anti-Trump supporters and at one point, a man is punched squarely in the face.

Brian Faustina, pictured with wife Lidia, is a 22-year veteran of Port Authority police department, and has been the subject of two previous 'minor' investigations

An 'ongoing' investigation is currently being conducted by the Office of the Inspector General, a spokesperson for the Port Authority police told NJ.com.

The video was originally shared on January 22nd to a pro-Trump Facebook page called 'Deplorables Inc' with the caption: 'Anti-Trump, domestic terrorists in DC meet a Trump supporter that likes to hit back.'

Faustina shared it to his own page the following day with the offensive caption.

No one appears to be arrested during the video.

Faustina was also the subject of two 'minor' investigations dating back to 2010, after a major overhaul of the department was subject to suspicion and 100 officers were brought up on internal charges, the NY Post reported.

He reportedly made $240,676 in 2015— his salary of $93,461 and overtime of $104,318.
