A Miami-Dade firefighter who posted a rant decrying the second degree murder charges filed against the killer of Trayvon Martin may have violated department rules, a personnel manual obtained by theGrio suggests.
Section 7B of the Miami-Dade County Personnel Rules manual states that a county employee may be dismissed, demoted or suspended without pay if "the employee has been offensive in his conduct towards his fellow employees, wards of the County or the public."
Section 7I of the employee manual lists further causes for dismissal as "conduct unbecoming of an employee of the County whether on or off duty."
It is not known whether Brian Beckmann is being investigated for those specific potential violations of county personnel policy, but the 15-year veteran firefighter is the subject of a Miami-Dade Fire and Rescue Department probe over a post on his personal Facebook page last week, denouncing the charges filed by State Attorney Angela Corey against George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch lounger who shot Martin to death February 26th.
Miami-Dade County's public affairs office released a lengthier statement late Monday, acknowledging the investigation and addressing community concerns:
