Florida police officer Andrew Johnson was fired this month after a concerned citizen reported him for posting racist memes and mocking the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.
The Kissimmee Police Department (KPD) terminated officer Johnson after it verified more than 30 screenshots of posts Johnson made. In the posts, Johnson supported the Capitol riot, slammed the BLM movement, and posted racist memes.
A concerned citizen reported Johnson to the KPD in an email obtained by NBC News.
“This officer is a very big problem. Not only is he a very big supporter of what happened recently in DC, but as you’ll see by the attached screenshots has posted some very inappropriate things overtime, and in having conversations face to face with this man, has said some massively concerning things as well,” the email said.
