Tyler Roysdon, a firefighter got suspended after
a racist remark he made on Facebook went
viral.
Tyler says he’d prefer to save a dog in an
emergency than a black person..
He wrote that
if he had to choose between saving a dog or a
black man from a building, the dog would get
priority, because “one dog is more important
than a million n****rs.”
Roysdon has since removed the post from his
Facebook page, but a screenshot appears
below.
Once township officials discovered the post,
Roysdon was suspended indefinitely, according
to local station WHIO-TV.
They then released an official statement about
Roysdon on Thursday, confirming that he was
suspended until the township’s board of
trustees can meet to determine his fate:
HuffPost reached out to Roysdon, who did not
immediately respond.
A woman who identified herself as Joei Frame
Roysdon told WXIX-TV that she was Roysdon’s
wife and said,
“He admitted that he said things
that were wrong and apologized.”
She added: “Everyone deserves a second
chance and is also entitled to their own
opinion.”
