FRANKLIN TWP., N.J. — A New Jersey corrections officer has been suspended and a FedEx employee was fired for their alleged roles in the creation ofFedEx said it does"not tolerate the kind of appalling and offensive behavior depicted in this video."New Jersey Department of Corrections posted to its Facebook page Tuesday that an"individual has been suspended from their post and banned from NJDOC facilities pending a thorough and expedited investigation.
According to public pension records, an officer named Joseph DiMarco was enrolled in the Police and Fireman's Retirement System on the same dates and is listed to have worked at the Wagner Youth Correctional Facility.The post indicated one of its officers"participated in the filming of a hateful and disappointing video that mocked the killing of George Floyd."
"Under absolutely no circumstance do we condone nor will we ever tolerate expressions of discrimination, harassment, and hatred based on race, faith, skin color, national origin, nationality, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or disability," the union statement continued.Late Tuesday, FedEx called behavior depicted in the video — which it confirmed involved an employee —"appalling and offensive.
"A diverse and inclusive workforce is at the heart of our business, and we stand with those who support justice and equality."
It is telling that those who choose to forward racist views and videos do so with Trump gear. It is clearly a correlation that Trump encourages.
This is so hateful and disturbing. If they are comfortable with doing this what else would they do?
Haaaaaa that is fun haaaa
'alleged' the video was there for everyone to see. These cops have shown their true colors during these protests. Highlighting the need for change. It's not just a couple 'bad apples'. You see them attack innocent reporters and elderly men and the whole bundle is rotten.
Real silly and not good
Now this is mental illness.
Well all right stupidity does not pay
That's too bad.
thoughts and prayers
When will realDonaldTrump come out publicly and condemn these protesters?
That is fairly mean to do
The Homers show the world their acting skills. Fortunately they will have plenty of time to rehearse now. Maga Shakespeare In the Park coming soon?
So, FedEx was fired. Officer is only suspended. Anyone else see the issue here?
Good
As they should have been. Total disgrace . Racism is not to tolerated.
