An Alabama police officer has been fired after sharing what many consider to be racist memes, including on about Michelle Obama, on his personal Facebook page.
Talladega Police Officer Joel Husk was terminated on Wednesday from the police department in the city, Talladega City Manager Patrick Bryant said.
Husk shared a meme on his page showing pictures of Melania Trump with the words, 'Fluent in Slovenian, English, French,Serbian and German' and another photo of Michelle Obama with the words 'Fluent in Ghetto.'
Another post Husk, 37, shared showed a photo from the Facebook group 'Last American Patriots'.
That post showed bodies lying on an apparent battlefield with the caption, 'Over 620,000 white people died to free black slaves and still to this day not even 1 thank you,' according to Bryant.

Ridiculous...
She’s not?
LOL getto grifting wookie and her grifting mother.
I see nothing wrong. He should sue.
She’s from Chicago. This is an honest observation.
Muchelle is a totalitarian that wants to tell people what to eat. F-her. If she continues then I will have some limits that I impose back on her that she will hate.
Fascists never think they’re the fascists.
Truth REALLY hurts these Demorats.
Truth is truth.
I would not hold my breath waiting for that to happen.
Michelle Ghettobama!
“Over 620,000 white people died to free black slaves and still to this day not even 1 thank you,’”
That will do it.
Good he is out the door and not even employable as a mall cop.
I imagine he would fired if he said “she isn’t even fluent in Ghetto” too.
It is ridiculous. No one seems to have the freedom of speech as granted by the US Constituon anymore. Say anything about anyone and you lose your means to support your family. If he spoke as the Police Dept., that is one matter. But, he spoke as an individual and that SHOULD be protected speech. Whether it was anti-Trump or anti-Clinton or anti-Obama
Just because it’s true doesn’t mean it’s smart to say it, especially on some stupid social site like Facebook.
That was my question too.
It’s not a matter of free speech.
It is a matter of his continued usefulnesss as a cop.
As it is now, any black suspect that he has arrested in the past and has not been put on trial is going to get a walk.
He put himself in a position where he can never testify.
Talladega Police Officer Joel Husk is a moron.
