NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) A Tennessee police department fired an officer last fall after video surfaced of him high-fiving a man who used a racial slur.
According to The Tennessean, the Franklin Police Department’s November firing of Seth Schilling was confirmed by documents obtained through a public records request.
The documents say Schilling responded in October to a call at a bar about a man harassing customers, filming them and using racial and homophobic slurs.
The documents say a group of men was in the parking lot. One said the racial slur, followed by “See! First Amendment! First Amendment!” The man said he was a Donald Trump supporter, and Schilling said he supported the former president as well, documents say.
