SALISBURY, N.C. — Officials say a Salisbury Police officer has been fired for making an inappropriate comment on Facebook.
The officer’s name was not released. The officer is accused of making an inflammatory posting concerning current events taking place in our nation, according to a press release.
The department says, “the officer’s comment was highly contrary to the legal and appropriate manner in which officers are trained to handle these types of situations. Furthermore, his comments are not a representation of how the Salisbury Police Department feels that situations like those occurring should be handled.”
The department plans to conduct an in-house refresher training course concerning their policy pertaining to the use of social media.
