Dallas Firefighter is the Latest Facebook Cyber-Casualty
A Dallas firefighter is under investigation following complaints about a racially offensive Facebook post he made last Sunday.
According to news reports, firefighter Chad Tyson was responding to a posting about the stabbing of two San Diego firefighters by a black man who is now on trial. A retired firefighter posted “Sad but true. But remember black lives matter.”
Tyson allegedly posted in response: “Sadly, I will delay treatment for more of them as well.” The post was subsequently deleted.
The thread was brought to the attention of Dallas Fire Rescue and an investigation is under way.
Are these knuckleheads never going to learn not to post controversial things on Social Media. I always think before I post and my facebook account doesn’t mention who my employer is.
I find it amusing how people will make a post, then take it down. It’s like trying to “unsay” something or “unring” a bell, it can’t be done.
