A Fort Worth officer was fired Thursday after police said he shared a “racially insensitive and grossly inappropriate” post on a shared personal Facebook page.
Police made the announcement after saying they concluded an internal affairs investigation into the social media post involving officer Roger Ballard.
Last week, Ballard was placed on restricted duty during the investigation, police said. According to CBS 11 sources, one of the images in question is what appears to be a Black man laying in a coffin. The copy on the meme says, “The face you make when you don’t understand ‘stop resisting.'”
“After reviewing the Internal Affairs findings, Chief Kraus concurred with the chain of command determination that Officer Roger Ballard was in violation of departmental General Orders and that his conduct brought justified unfavorable criticism upon the department,” the department said in a statement.
