OFFICER REINSTATED
Tampa police officer fired after racial slur reinstated to his job


TAMPA, Fla. — A Black Tampa police officer who was fired for using a racial slur in two separate situations has been reinstated.

According to Bay News 9’s partner newspaper the Tampa Bay Times, Tampa’s Civil Service Board voted Monday to reinstate Officer Delvin White

White was fired in March.

The board voted that while Chief Brian Dugan had cause to fire White, the punishment was too severe. The board argued it was unfair to lose a good employee who cared about his job.

White was a popular school resource officer at Middleton High School.

Dugan argued White clearly violated a policy that forbids racial slurs, and said it was concerning he used a racial slur while arresting a student.

White was immediately reinstated with no back pay.

It's unclear if he will return to Middleton

 

[old pig]

cleverly worded title…not what I expected

 

[Voice of Reason]

Anyone who uses that word is an idiot

 

[Crude]

I stopped using that word a long time ago, I usually substitute “kneegrow” or something along those lines in its place when I’m talking in slang.

A lot of people still use it and that’s their prerogative, but I’ve tried to eliminate it from my vocabulary.

This brother used poor judgement.

 

[Somebody]

Ppl try to eliminate the word, but keep the negative feeling they hold towards it. It should be the opposite.

A cop arresting me calls me a nikka, it’s a problem…
1. He’d be saying it in an insulting and degrading way.
2. Most have the same mentality as the white cops, so they might as well be white.
3. If I’m on the street and arguing with another black man and hes popping off with nikka this and that to me, that’s not the friendly use of the word. Only difference here is if I try to fight a cop, I’m probably getting shot.
