Florida police officer fired after Facebook posts supporting Capitol riot, mocking 'Black Lives Matter'
A Florida police officer was fired earlier this month after a citizen reported him for posting politically charged and racist memes and musings on social media.
The Kissimmee Police Department says it verified 30 screenshots of Facebook posts made by Officer Andrew Johnson in support of Capitol riots and Trump and disparaging the Black Lives Matter movement.
Johnson’s Facebook page appears to have been deleted, but according to screenshots of the posts the department said it verified, he also shared his views on abortion, gun rights and athletes kneeling during the National Anthem.
In apparent response to the riot at the U.S. Capitol earlier this month, Johnson wrote: “The silent majority will rise!! Day one of the Revolutionary War!! Hang on, it’s only just begun."
