A Fort Worth police officer was fired because of a “race-insensitive social media post,” the Texas department said on Monday.
Kelly Kujawski was fired after an internal affairs investigation found she was the source of the social media post, which was discovered by another police officer on February 5.
ONE police statement did not go into detail about the post. A police spokesman was investigating whether more information would be released Monday night.
“The Fort Worth Police Department maintains each officer to a very high standard and any comment, posting or communication that is racially insensitive and unprofessional will not be tolerated in any way,” the department said in the statement.
A listed Kujawski phone number could not be found immediately on Monday night.
An e-mail message sent to the Fort Worth Police Officers Association, a union, was not immediately returned.
In early February, a different police officer, Chadwick Hughes, was fired for what was described as inappropriate and racially insensitive postings on social media, NBC Dallas-Fort Worth reported. Another officer saw these posts on January 30 and notified superiors.
