A police officer in Indiana was fired due to his social media posts Wednesday after being hired to the force two days prior. One 2021 post captioned a cartoon of a black man as 'Martin Looter King.'
Former Officer Chaz Foy completed his training at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy earlier this year and was sworn into the force on Monday at the Marion City Hall Council Chambers alongside another officer. However, on Tuesday, Police Chief Angela Haley became aware of posts she deemed"racist" from Foy's personal Facebook account.
89 and climbing, let’s all take a moment to appreciate better times,” Foy allegedly captioned the photo of Chauvin with his knee on Floyd's neck. Chauvin would go on to be sentenced to 22 1/2 years behind bars after being found guilty of second-degree murder, second-degree manslaughter, and third-degree murder charges. The former Minneapolis police officer has since appealed his conviction on the basis of allegedly not receiving a fair trial.
