A White Talladega, Alabama, police officer was fired last week after posting a racist meme of at First Lady Michelle Obama, reports The Washington Post.
Officer Joel Husk posted a meme that said Obama was “fluent in ghetto,” to which Talladega City Manager Patrick Bryant responded: “We will not tolerate that kind of conduct by any employees. We take very seriously our responsibility to treat everyone equally and equitably. We have to make sure we take steps for the community to trust us.”

Husk, 37, who had been with the department for about two and a half years, had also shared a meme showing President Obama with the words: “Was Dallas a terrorist attack? Yes! Carried out by Obama’s own homegrown terrorist group!”
Another meme he shared depicted Klansmen carrying a Confederate flag. “The KKK is a hate group right? Isn’t it about time we start being honest in America . . . and admit that #blacklivesmatter is also a hate group?” it read.
Husk could not be reached for comment, reports The Post.
