Delvin White, a Florida police officer, who was working as a school resource officer, has been fired after he was caught on body camera footage using the N-word.A Florida police officer, who was working as a school resource officer, has been fired after he was caught on body camera footage using the N-word and later admitted to his superiors that it wasn't the first time.
"We stand with the City of Tampa and the Tampa Police Department in their efforts to stamp out racism in every form and condemn any and all derogatory statements in or out of uniform," Tampa Police Benevolent Association spokesman Danny Alvarez said in a statement. As he is leaving, he makes a phone call to a woman to tell her that he doesn't want steak when he gets home, but rather a tuna salad sandwich. When she reminds him that he cannot have bread, he amends his request to tuna salad and gluten free crackers.
"Derogatory statements made by police officers jeopardize the trust that our department works to establish with our community," said Chief Brian Dugan."Tampa Police officers are held to a higher standard and incidents like this negatively impact the entire law enforcement profession."
Context matters TampaPoliceDep you absolutely know he wasn't being racist.... you took a good cop off the road for posture. I'd bet ANYTHING you have a plethora of incidents where white officer's used the word in an racial way and they weren't fired
He is saying if I can’t say it cause you are A Nigger You do not get to say it in my face. That’s all
Fired for saying a word, but white cops can stay employed if they shoot an unarmed man in the back. Nice.
It don’t matter if your black or white.
Really. Virtually ever black mail under the age of 30 use that word 50+ times a day. So only certain people can use a word! That's not how it works.
So this dude was fired for saying the n word but cops that kill innocent people get paid leave?
Why don’t these PD ask the resignation of the white officer to resign? But is it bc he is Black or they have a different agenda bc they are white supremacist. Did you know that a black officer can use the N word bc the meaning is different that a white cracker using it?
So you fire him but do nothing about the white cops who murder people ....
Jackass! Uniform and title doesnt make anybody decent
What is good for some is not good for all
You better get used to reporting a story like this.
Why is it ok for black peoplE tO say tHE N WoRD BUT NO ONE ELSE IS. IT SHOULD BE TakEN OUT OF THE DICTIONARY. I mean my god we are going after dr Seuss for his books on race
Fair is fair. Seen the new Eddie Murphy movie with him in white face?
The sad fact is, you MUST apply the rules equally. Also, he sounds like a white cop. 'He tells her he is responsible to make sure kids don't get shot and stabbed, and later repeats the statement to say his job is to ensure 'some ghetto n----- don't get shot or stabbed.'
If a white office would get fired for doing this, then it would be a violation of protocol to allow a Black Officer to get away with doing this.
Just for one word every one slips once in a while.
Until everyone stops saying Nigger there will never be racial equality.
But you're Black!🤔🤪🤪🤪I as an Afro-American call EVERYBODY Nigg! I'M BLACK, NIGG! SHID! Um, nigg, WHERE MY MONEY.😶Let's KEEP IT REAL, Um, nigg, what nigg you call a nigg, nigg! Shid! Certain niggs don't like that SHID, nigg! Shid! The PHUCK wrong with EVERYTHING!🤪🤪
is this for real
Eh? But when white officer uses the word thumbs up and no action.
Isn’t he a white supremacist, asking for a leftist friend.
But the N word is a black culture thing _ you can't that away from them
If he had killed someone black he would still have a job!
How petty, every rapper in America uses the word and they make millions, yet one 'slip' by a career police officer and he get fired? Absolute hypocrisy!! The man deserves his career back!!!
Has nothing to do with being black or the word. It’s because he’s a cop! 🤦♂️
For for my Nîgga for saying Nîgga but not mf’s killing nîggas.... Sounds about white
That's bullshit it was a private conversation with is girlfriend he did nothing wrong.
black people: we want equality. black police officer fired because he said nigar. black people: that's racism. we are offended.
This article is from last week, Thursday to be exact. And since then, you have posted and reposted and reposted.
🤔
He was fired because his fellow police officers wanted him off the force. They just used this as an excuse.
The dude must be in shock for getting fired for using a word that he has probably used a thousand times with his family and his homeboys!
Blacks use the N word with each other all the time in private conversations! Many popular rap songs that young black and white youths listen to use the N word also! The word only seem to become offensive when a White person uses it towards a Black person! Double standard perhaps?
Wow. Man we should start firing rappers and teachers and the chief of police
Wow! I agree!
White cops kill black civilians while being filmed - still has a job. Suddenly TampaPD are politically correct - I don’t buy it.
❓❓❓
Ummm, I’m pretty sure he’s allowed 🤷♀️
People want cops to be held to a higher standard. You don’t get to pick and choose who who that applies to based on the color of their skin. That’s racist.
Yet all those white police officers who killed Elijah and all the other african americans this past year get away scott free. DoubleStandard
Always morbidly fascinating to watch a snake start to eat it's tail...
What is the N word?
Good. It goes both ways.
💪🏿👀
Fire the Mayor...
rickygervais this is funny...
Now every police officer, no matter the color, will be fired. This sets the precedent... there you have it!
We can't use it figuratively and in the same breath scream racist word.
Police officers should not used bad word's but black office can do it by mistake due to it a joke between black people which is acceptable to them it's like twins talking thee own language
2nd time running this story
If only he killed an innocent person he’d still have a job.
School resource officer
Good
So what
Remember boys and girls, turn your camera off before you start verbally abusing your citizens you’re paid to protect.
Fair is fair. That’s the point
Check every police officers body cam, social media entries. You will find more than just one using derogatory language.
Ok? This is news because?
That word is reserved for the exclusive use of white people. How dare he..
CONTEXT, a word, even a highly charged word cannot be taken out of context .a black man's use of that word can not be considered racist. PERIOD!
Thiswas teported about aweek ir more ago. Wasn't the officer reinstated since? Besides how come rappers don't get fired?
Would it make a difference if this officer were white? I don't think so, that would indicate racism. I think the city of Tampa is right.
Now that's a new twist of events. When a White cop calls us the N word or shoots us in the back for carrying a subway sandwich or kneels on our necks for 9 or more minutes until we are dead. I hope they will get FIRED AND CHARGED...
If he was white it would of been alright. Seems all the other white officers that do worse just get a slap on the wrist or a leave from their job with pay in our country. Yes he was wrong , not denying it. Just stating what seems to be the obvious.
Maybe time for a national conversation around disempowering words? This is really really dumb.
Let’s not “normalize the “n” word. Its not a good word. 😔.
If he were white , would have have had paid leave and been back on the force in about 2 weeks smh .
Thực tế. Đa nghi. Thích sách. Ở cùng bố mẹ, đã đi làm thêm và có thể tự lập về kinh tế, có xe đạp riêng. :D
OMG!! A black man using the 'N' word! What will happen next? What a fucking spineless and pussified society this is.
Our BLACK MEN! 🙏🏽
Plot twist: he is really white and what you are seeing is an illusion.
You couldn’t pay me enough money to move to the US
I tweeted on this before! Ok! Why all of the sudden the police camera 🎥 works on this Black police officer, but yet instill!, when White police officers shows their prejudice and hatefulness against the against the so-called N-word folks, Now! suddenly we got camera issues🕊️💎
Good! Ya’ll get pissed and cancel MorganWallen when he used that word in a drunken rant. Fair is fair. When will ya’ll cancel literally every rapper today for the same behavior?! 🤷♂️
Black...capitalized. Making sure everyone knows.
Interesting...Nigger is not a white swearword. We're the political correctness activist?
Can we please fire everyone using filthy language against women too? No? Hmm.
Should have been!!
A distort Black Tampa police officer with many complains about him was fired after he was caught many times on his body camera footage using the N-word.
Anyone listened to rap over the last 30 years?
Blacks use the N- word differently. It doesn't have hate when we use it. Anyway, from now on you must fire everyone who uses that word, no displinary cases. Just fire. It's a good precedence
I want Dave Chappelles take on this immediately... 😂🤷🏻♂️
While white officers are murdering civilians basically just for fun
Black to black also cannot use n word ah.
What goes for one goes for all. I hope that was how he treated the kids at the school.
And I’m still waiting for these domestic terrorists to face criminal charges. This is what racist behavior looks like
Either it’s taboo or it’s not.
Is ok for black people to say the N word.
White washed Trumplican
Should have given him a raise instead. Along with anyone who says it.
Police officer was fired
Dear UNHCRIndo AnnMaymann please be Kind in action not just in words or slogan!
White ones wouldn't be though.
Im not a lawyer, but I think he’s got a legitimate case if he wants to sue. Whoever fired him will regret that decision.
But isn't there some unwritten rule which allows African Americans to (repeatedly and often) use the word 'nigger' in their everyday vocabulary?🤔 PoliticalCorrectness MUST have some limits.
🤦🏽♂️
Old news
This is kinds of messed up! Then again, it's Florida, why am I not surprised!
mfs will fire a black guy for saying nigga but will put a white officer on paid leave for shooting a unarmed black man
Was it with A or hard R?
Yet, the HouseGOP refuses expel mtgreenee Miller_Congress RepBoebert/laurenboebert CawthornforNC RepMoBrooks for their public expressions of racist and antiSemitic views
Agree...
Pfft
So let me get this straight.. a black police officer said the n-word, gets fired. A white police officer kills a black person gets administrative leave with pay? Getting the hang of this now...🙄
fired for saying a naughty word? ...I bet this guy save 100 people in his life
Meanwhile you have vvhite teachers normalizing the N word. This reminds me of how vvhite people attack Black rappers for using the N word in their lyrics, and then try and normalize the usage of it.
Use the term racial slur , abbreviating it is still saying it
But they won't fire white police officers that shoot unarmed black men....
I bet they would've given a white officer a paid vacation
He’s a racist.
WHAT OTHER WORDS ARE BANNED? MOTHERFUCKERS.....
But he’s bl- I’m confused.
🙄
They were looking for any reason to fire him! 🙄
Disgraceful
Keep in mind, they look for ANY reason to get rid of us, by ANY means possible. But you know that double standard doesn't apply to them. They can do & say whatever, murder at will with some captain finding validation for the shooting. But this? You're fired?
The real question is if he was using the word how black people say it to each other or how white people say it to black people 🤔
Pretty soon we will no one interested in being a police officer. Get a gun because the democrats are not making us safe
What about making him take a class instead of firing him! Find out why he is using it and get him back on the job! You will have a better officer!
Okay fire him and then go back look at all the tapes and fire everyone else who used that word.
Lmaoooo

Lol what you think it’s ok for you but not for everyone else lol
If it was a white cop caught using the N-word on body camera, he'd have been promoted to Sergeant.
you have to know that's what they call each other .
Getting fired served him right. How incredibly stupid of this officer. Does he not know that government employed citizens are held to high standards of conduct? Shame.
It’s OK if you’re a famous basketball player to use it but a policeman can’t. Really?
Black cop didn’t get fired for using the “n-word”. Black cop got fired for not shooting unarmed black students in the back before using the “n-word”.
About time a POC, was held accountable for using it, and not just white Americans.
Uhm using that word at work - that’s a big NO. “-gga” nor “-gger” is acceptable at work. So unprofessional. No ma’am.
Well, this is ironic...
Absolutely the right thing to do!!
They all say it , which is why I say it’s no longer a racist word, it’s part of the urban language.
Priorities?!?!?!?!? There are children dying.
When will we stop allowing this kind of nonsense to rule the day? Media is pushing this crap so hard, because it divides, and the masses get sucked in. It has gone so far as to hurt the very people it was designed to protect. Stop allowing media to dictate how you should think.
I guess it's only okay to use that word if you're black and make 'music'... to everyone offended by this guy's firing- welcome to the world of whiteness. Are you woke yet?
Wheres the video? I love all these internet detectives and legal scholars that double as social justice warriors that only see skin color. He gets a pass on this word because he's black? No. The double standard needs to stop across the board.
The fact that he was 'caught' is a problem. Black people, we need to do better.🖤
Damn how did they go straight to termination? Anybody else kills or abuses and they get paid leave or maybe suspended smh
Wait... so using the N word isn't okay? Or does everyone want to make another exception based on skin color? When will yall wake up and take that shit out of music, entertainment, etc.
Yet white officers get away with murder? It will never make sense.
Hmmmm.... white officer get EOC training and paid leave but he gets fired.
he was taught well from his master's
'My N!$', never mind
If you must use that word and you’re a Black American ; keep that talk on the block, use around friends and family. It’s a different type of vibe other people will never understand.
Florida will Florida. The governor literally lowered flags to honor of a bigot 🤦🏾♀️
Tampa should not terminate police officers for a single offense of using a racial slur. TBPD discipline should tailored to the misconduct. This is overkill.
That's his word to use, although maybe not knowing it's recorded. I had to tell the white barbers that the word is solidarity and unity amongst blacks, the white barber thought absolutely nobody should use it. Who is a white man with blue eyes to tell a race what words to use.
Vui vẻ chiều chuộng
Hopefully, a Lawsuit is on the way🛑
And his bosses probably called him the n-word as they pushed him out the door, one more ' n' down. Wypipo wanna say it so much.
No suspension?🛑🤷🏾♀️
Wait... they didn’t put him on paid administrative leave?
I just wonder why a journalist reporting news can't say the word in full. How did society get to the point where context have become totally Irrelevant.
Which one? Niggard?
It’s ok between them
Why is he fired !!? Black jobs matter ! I suggest standing on one leg as a symbol 🤪
Poor thing.
He shouldn’t of been fired. Should of had paid leave and some discipline. They personally made the effort to ruin another black man’s Life and make him an example for everyone.
Sweet revenge
The covert subtleness of systemic racism.
Just goes to show the systemic disrespect towards black people... not even black police officers are protected by that 'blue line' crap.
What a giants stupid in uniform
Reminds me of the cop from boys n da hood
Yet they can’t get a conviction against any white cops for killing Black citizens, but yeah, fire the Black cop for using the N word. I’d be more worried about his condescending treatment of his wife!
Black people use the word all the time. Why was he died for doing what black people do in music, movie, comedy, and general conversation
Black children are safer at home. BustTheFilibuster
Schools need help not cops.
BUT A WHITE RACIST COP MURDERS A BLACK MAN AND WALKS ? WTF IS WRONG WITH USA WTF IS WRONG WITH WHITE PEOPLE WE ARE ALL FUCKING HUMAN ALL OF US NO MATTER WHAT COLOR ..JEEZ
Florida trying to low-key throw jabs. Idiots
So its okay for white officers to use it and murder unarmed black people but its not okay for a black officer to use the word?
Indeed....🤔🤔
If he was white they would have suspended him with pay.
As he is leaving, he makes a phone call to a woman to tell her that he doesn't want steak when he gets home, but rather a tuna salad sandwich. When she reminds him that he cannot have bread, he amends his request to tuna salad and gluten free crackers.
kinda dumbass thing to do. Tampa officer should use toleration re-education
This is good right? Blacks are getting canceled and don’t even see it. No pancake or rice anymore. Mr. Potato head which is brown even got canceled. Are you watching what’s happening people?
They look for any reason to fire a black man, but they can never seem to find a reason to fire a white man. It’s training, probation, paid leave, or desk duty for them.
But it’s cool for a white cop to kneel on someone’s head until their dead?
😒
Bye-bye.
Normal.
Correct decision
BREAKING: NGG3R FIRED FOR SAYING NGG3R. Ahhhhhhhhahahaha. What a world. This guy needs a go fund me. Persecuting a black person for this is racist
How many whites have been fired? Regardless is ok.
?
They’ll fire him for this but white cops can beat/choke/murder suspects and get a week paid leave
Obviously. If he was white he would’ve gotten a paid vacation.
Good
?
Lol!
What does his L-word have to say about that?
It's Florida what do you expect!
Shit show 2021
You capping?
Lead by example!!
But white cops keep their job for murder and harassment and didn’t Derek chauvin have like a million complaints against him, America is literally so ridiculous
They will not let us have anything. If white.people cannot say it no one can because white.
This must be the only word on the planet that is acceptable to be used by one race yet not another.
Yikes 😬
Black people really mad because they cant use the N-Word, a word made up by white people.
If he had just used it in a rap song he’s have been ok! Damn it. Hate when that happens! 😬
What a time to be alive
When a white man can get away with putting his knee on a black man but a black officer can’t say the n word
Double standards should not acceptable!
Next
How many lives do you think this guy saved in his career?
He didn't say it to/at anybody on his job, he wasn't reported, and didn't have to be a public incident. Tell him to be careful what language he uses on the job.
Well if white folk cant say it black folk shouldn't say it either
It's a needed sacrifice to get the enforcement up to standard. Even Black people aren't immune from certain context. Only within the Black Sphere are you safe. Outside? You're responsible for whatever reaction you recieve.
Florida will always be Florida. Black cop gets fired for language, White cop gets paid leave (vacation) for murder. Phuck Phlorida!!!
He’s being treated exactly the same as a white person is. It’s an offensive word, so he shouldn’t be saying it.
Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop Oh, no, that's how Ruff Ryders roll
Saying the word is not a crime! Beating the hell out of someone you consider one, should be!! So why are we no nonsense with a black man on both sides of the Blue line? Maybe the Blueline is not as blue as we think...more red & white. blackcopsmatter
He should've killed an unarmed Black man instead. He'd still have a job.
If anyone's not firing this guy for using the N-word, then they're part of the problem. The N-word doesn't belong in schools. But, guess the liberals are upset. Liberals want to take God out of schools & keep N-word in schools.
The statement given in the article, no matter how derogatory the vernacular, still refers to the black man as a victim whom he hopes to save. He was fired for this statement!?
davidalangrier this is why Sarah Silverman had to apologize for the joke. (Doesn’t make sense at all still)
That's not why he got fired. He was ready to snitch on someone or wouldnt play the cover up game. I guarantee ppl in Tampa police dept have done things that needed to be fired.
That seems silly
This is rampant in police department's nation wide that's why there's so much abuse usely no accountability.
If he was a white Tampa police officer he'd still have a job.
Wait what? One police officer shot a woman in her home while she played video games with her nephew.... he got desk duty... DA FUQ. Lol.
?
ahh fire the black guy but paid administrative leave for the white ones eh
The N word should be used by nobody. Such a terrible word.
BravoKiloActual
Meanwhile, cops that kill, beat, assault and kill black men, woman, and children gets, 'Reassigned' or not charged...how interesting.
Yet white police officer's get paid leave for the murder of black men, women and specially black children.
GOOD. This man is White supremacist. just look at his last name
That's odd. When a white Police Officer Kills an unarmed Black man, they get a pat on the back and sent back to work. While a Black Officer use the N Word and he gets fired. Something is wrong with this picture.
This is a liberal paradox. Is he a racist because of what he said, or is he not based on his skin pigmentation?
N?
when white officers say the n word: whatever. when a black officer says the n word: OMG FIRE HIM NOW! just stating facts.
I cannot believe it
Shouldn't matter what race the cop was who said it. It was said by a representative of the state. Same thing if he called women the 'C' word. My taxes ain't for all that.
Woke culture eating its own tail
I could live the rest of my life and be happy if I never heard that nasty, evil word again.
So when are rappers going to be fired for the same thing?
They don't fire the white ones over this...
If it was a white man, it will be with pay for investigation LMFREAKINGAO it’s a FFFcking joke
I don’t know how to even respond to this one !
Well, I would certainly be fired for using that word.
Wait...but....no
Wait.....
Mane wtf!!! I'm a black man. African American! tell me I can't say nigga and I'm suing!!!!
Black officer gets fired for using the N word but white officers get away with him..
How a uniform changes a person
😂 cancel ALL RAP ! 😂
Too bad Tampa officials are not as progressive with their political leadership. Racism at it's finest. Curious as to what warranted them listen to his recording given that no other unusual circumstance occurred? How many other recordings had they monitored that day or even week?
Good. No one regardless of race should use that despicable term.
White cop can kill you, but a black one can’t say n*gger? WTF
Hell yeah. Fire that racist bigot!!! Black power!! ✊🏿
good!
WILL MSNBC STOP SHOWING TRUMP! I finally stopped puking in my mouth everytime I see him. They can cover his indictments etc... but please don’t show his orange face! Retweet if you agree!
So he is fired but white cops are just put at desk duty till it blows over? 🤦🏽♂️
He said what? Fired over who? This is so dumb! What if he said it bc he always says it outside if work and this one slipped Gtfoh with that wokie Sh!t this is America the land of the free. Give that man his job back!!
This is the product of misunderstanding issues of race, culture, and then that word specifically. It was undoubtedly inappropriate for him to use that word in uniform because the racist (against blacks) black cop archetype is not at all forgotten...
ACAB! Bye 👋
Wait what?
There’s a difference in the usage of the N word amongst black to black. Its a cultural thing and each knows its meaning. The N word ends in ga, whereas the racial N word ends in ger.
But he's black...
🤔🙃
But kill someone and get a paid vacation..
Good! The only way this would is not going to be used is if it is eliminated from black culture and music. When it becomes unacceptable for blacks to use it amongst themselves, it will be eliminated from all of our cultures!
Don't they like 'own' the word? How can they not say it?
Why are people disagreeing with this? If that was a white man the woke folks would be screaming. Y’all are weird
All skin folk ARE NOT kinfolk. The Anti-Blackness is so real... And folks wonder why our Black and Brown communities don't trust law enforcement. Its because of the abuse, blatant disrespect and lack of empathy or care that most officers that come in our hoods, display. Smfh
1. I agree with everyone. He shouldn't been fired. Like every other cop he should of at least been suspended without pay. Then he'll learn his lesson 2. Me being a Black man I don't like the word. It's an ugly word and a horrible word that no one should say
Why then do you still have a country you call Nigger-area somewhere in Africa. If u have over 200m people you call the N word, then it's not justify to sack this officer for using the N word
But if a white cop used the N word (and we've all seen it), theyd be put on paid leave and after it blows over they'd be back on the streets.
That’s terrible. Black people are not capable of being racist
But End Day He is Nigger 🤣🤣😂😂😂😃
why that word is so serious but you guys did a lot insulting to Asian American without any consequences? double standards
It shouldn't be said period. Why is it ok for a black person to say it? It's not! Not at any time. Not even when greeting a friend.
