A spokesperson for the Gastonia Police Department was fired for comments he allegedly posted to Facebook through the department’s page, The Gaston Gazette reports.
The Gastonia Police Department spokesman who was suspended in July after the city was sued for his Facebook comments was fired earlier this month for his comments on social media.
About two weeks after a federal lawsuit was filed, the city suspended the police spokesman, who the lawsuit accuses of using the police department's Facebook page to harass a homeless veteran who was arrested in 2021.
