While the department did not detail the contents of Kujawski s post, it did reveal that a fellow officer discovered the post, which prompted the internal investigation. Internal Affairs quickly began an investigation and concluded that officer Kelly Kujawski was responsible for the racially insensitive post, the release stated.
The police department further condemned Kujawski s actions, writing that [t]he Fort Worth Police Department holds every officer to a very high standard, and that any communication which is racially insensitive and unprofessional will not be condoned in any manner. Our department will continue to hold those accountable who do not meet that standard, the department said in the release.
