Though he claimed he didn’t realize the historical context and thought he was simply supporting the death penalty for a killer of a police officer, the department and then-Chief of Police rejected that excuse, calling his ignorance and lack of remorse a betrayal of public trust. The incident, occurring amid national scrutiny of police racism following George Floyd’s murder, underscored the department’s zero-tolerance stance on conduct that undermines professionalism and integrity — especially for an officer with a prior record of misconduct.
