An Alabama police officer has been fired for sharing racist memes, including one about Michelle Obama.

Talladega Police Officer Joel Husk was terminated Wednesday for violating the department’s social media and code of conduct policies, City Manager Patrick Bryant said.

Husk had posted several memes on his Facebook page, including one showing Obama and Melania Trump. “Fluent in Slovenian, English, French, Serbian, and German,” it said over Trump’s photo. Over Obama’s, it read: “Fluent in Ghetto.”

Bryant, the city manager, said statements that are “deemed to be biased or racially insensitive or derogatory” can affect the community’s trust in the police department and, when that happens, “we have to take action to correct it.”

4. The double standards are endless.

Well, glad to hear he lost his job, though I'm sure the GoFundMe account will tide him over until he can move to another place and get hired in a similar position.

6. Melania is fluent in English?

Only to those who don't respect the language enough to learn to speak it well.

Indeed, her husband is not fluent in English, either.

Then again, Trump and his supporters always project Trump's shortcomings onto his opponents. In that respect, "ghetto" is exactly right.

That's done soft core porn, or that I've seen naked.
