NOPD Suspends Racist Cop for Proving It With Invite to ‘Join Trayvon Martin in Hell’

Jason Giroir is the subject of a new probe by the Public Integrity Bureau after a person who identifies himself as an NOPD employee by that name made online comments about the killing of Trayvon Martin.



The WWLTV.com story about local reaction to the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida at the hands of a neighborhood watchman sparked several incendiary comments – including remarks from a Facebook commenter who is named Jason Giroir.

“Act like a Thug Die like one!” says the comment under name Jason Giroir. The comment refers to the controversy surrounding the hooded sweatshirt Martin was reportedly wearing when he was gunned down. Activists across the nation have taken to wearing hoodies as a sign of solidarity with Martin’s family and against racial profiling.

1. That's pretty ironic, coming from a New Orleans cop. They should know.

2. The thug didn't die, what's he talking about? The thug was armed

and killed the innocent person.

3. This Giroir is going for a prize in stupid...

He posted this stuff while doing desk duty. And the reason he is doing desk duty is that he is under investigation concerning a traffic stop where a black kid was shot dead.
