NORTH CHARLESTON, SC (WIS TV) - The former North Charleston Police officer who was fired after photos of him in Confederate flag boxer shorts were posted on social media is filing a federal lawsuit against the city, claiming he was wrongfully terminated because of his race.
Former Sgt. Shannon Dildine's photos of himself wearing the shorts surfaced after he said he posted them on Facebook to diffuse a heated debate about the flag on social media between two friends.

Sue the pants and underwear off of them!
Unless you’re looking to make a post my and can afford to live without your salary. Stay off social media.
Many of us out here display the Stars and Bars on our gates with Stars and Stripes and the Texas flag on the 4th of July and other occasions, and no one has a fit about it at work-some even fly the Jolly Roger-but I’m pretty sure that a photo on a social media site of one of our sheriff deputies in underwear-any underwear-would bring the hammer down-both public and private sector employers ask workers not to post photos like that or provocative remarks...
What is interesting is the STARS AND STRIPES flew over slave states that did not join the South. The STARS AND STRIPES continued to fly over those SLAVE STATES eight months after the close of the Civil War, until the passage of the 13th Amendment.
That is an historical fact that many brain-dead individuals choose to ignore-they like to believe slaves were always only kept in states below the Mason Dixon line...
He was FIRED for wearing confederate flag underwear?!
Major league lawsuit coming. And deservedly so.
Ask any Bostonian if there ever were slave auctions held in Faneuil Hall and they would angrily deny it.
But it’s true. The Boston slave traders auctioned their goods right down there by the harbor.
There were many slaves in New England, some even in Lexington and Concord. The Massachusetts legislature never passed a law against slavery until the 20th century. Many in Massachusetts were afraid that if slavery were outlawed the slaves would become wards of the state and the communities couldn’t afford it.
The North didn’t go to war to free the slaves but the South sure went to war to preserve slavery. They lost. The Civil War is over. Get over it.
“The North didn’t go to war to free the slaves but the South sure went to war to preserve slavery. “
Still posting while stupid I see.
That must have been a self-fulfilling prophecy, because Massachusetts was all in for LBJ’s welfare for the “poor”-most of whom were minorities-and it made them wards of the state, but later than they feared...
Still living stupid I see. The South went to war to preserve slavery and lost the war it started you Confederate moron.
And who was the biggest supporter of the SOUTH at that time?
GREAT BRITAIN. They supplied the SOUTH with GUNS, and SHIP BUILDING. They held off recognition of the South as an independent nation though.
The UNION declared they would whip the SOUTH in 90 days!
Instead it turned into four year long slugfest with 700,000 DEAD, and millions more who lost arms, legs, eyes, family, fortunes. Maybe they were fighting for more than just the rich to have the right to a slave.
Even New York City turned against the NORTH and shot it out over the draft laws, to the Union had to rely on fresh immigrants to do the fighting.
Many of the Indian Tribes fought for the SOUTH, from Canada to Mexico. Confederate agents were taken prisoner in the Cheyenne camp at Sand Creek.
And the war still resonates today with this thread.
“they like to believe slaves were always only kept in states below the Mason Dixon line...”
Do you know if there are any records as to how many slaves were kept in all the states? Such a record could be enlightening.
That info might be on the internet at some state historical sites...
You may have missed the news. The war on southern heritage was 150 years ago, you lost.
The bottom line is the South lost the war, ain’t it?
Yeah. The typical Brit strategy of divide and conquer but they saw early on the South had no chance of winning and Britain certainly had no intention of sending troops. They decided to cut their losses quick.
But it’s true. The Boston slave traders auctioned their goods right down there by the harbor.
You've repeatedly claimed this - can you provide any substantiation for your claim?
