Fort Lauderdale Cop Fired Over Racist Facebook Comment Back on the Job
Jeffery Feldewert, a 20-year veteran with the Fort Lauderdale Police Department who was fired in June over racist comments he made on Facebook, is now back on the job and has instead been given a ten-day suspension.
Feldewert was let go after he took to his personal Facebook page and wrote "typical hoodrat behavior" as a caption for a photo of a black man being arrested. The photo Feldewert posted was apparently a meme that read: "Black People. Because without them the evening news wouldn't be as much fun to watch."
Feldewert, 45, was let go on June 11, but he appealed the decision and has been reinstated as a police officer and given back his badge.
