Officials confirmed Saturday that a Florida policeman accused of bringing Trayvon Martin targets in for shooting practice was fired.

Port Canaveral Sgt. Ron King was terminated from the police department on Friday, according to Interim Chief Executive Officer John Walsh.

“Whether his act was hatred or stupidity, none is tolerable,” Mr. Walsh told WFTV. “He had a target in the back of his car and offered it to two other officers with the port.”

It’s undetermined if any of the targets were actually used. Mr. Walsh told reporters the sergeant purchased the targets on the Internet.

1. Like all bad cops, he will be hired by another department. n-t

2. More likely he will be reinstated with back pay once the furor dies down

That is the way it works in LEO circles

4. So true. n-t

3. The positive part of this is that the others there turned him in

Glad he is not still on the job.
