A Fort Worth officer’s actions were exposed after sharing a racist post on Facebook.
CBS Local News reported “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.’”
The Fort Worth Police Department made statements regarding 18-year veteran Ballard actions.
“The Fort Worth Police Department holds every officer to a very high standard and any comment, post, or any communication which is racially insensitive and unprofessional will not be condoned in any manner. Our department will continue to hold accountable those who do not meet that standard,” the department said.
Racism is a deadly weapon and it feels great to see MAGA supporters in law enforcement learning their lesson along with getting consequences.
The police department hasn’t released his photo.
