“Justice was served today against someone who does not represent you, or us, or our department, or who we are as a nation,” he told them.

The NAACP San Diego Branch on Monday called on elected leaders to address what it labeled a hostile and toxic culture within the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
In a letter to Mayor Todd Gloria and the City Council, the NAACP shared images of what it said were troubling symbols and pictures found in fire stations and on equipment, including a sticker of the Gadsden flag on a helmet in a fire truck and a sticker of the “thin blue line” flag on what appears to be a door at a station.
The NAACP noted that the flags are sometimes associated with White supremacists.
