TULSA, Oklahoma – A Tulsa Police officer who just graduated from the academy a month ago is out of a job because of questionable posts on Facebook.
The department received a complaint about Officer Wayne Brown’s Facebook posts Wednesday morning. The decision to release him didn’t take long. He was fired an hour later, News 9 reported.
According to police, he goes by Duke Brown on his Facebook page. A community action group found the posts dating back to 2013 and took screen shots of them. Tulsa Police called most of the memes posted as questionable

Usually they get a psych eval. Failing a psych eval is supposed to prevent one from becoming a cop.
But...
Dr. Clarissa Cole on After Hours AM April 17, 2019(Start at 78:31)
Dr. Cole: He had an epiphany; he was going to become a cop!
Eric Olsen: Ha ha ha what??? Uh, so, wait a minute, he was told by a former employer, if you ever, you better never get a job where you have influence over others, an authority position, or I’ll do whatever it takes to stop you. So wouldn’t becoming a cop kinda give him the ultimate authority over people?
Dr. Cole: Well, you know, lucky for all these other people, he kept moving from county to county so they weren’t really, uh, yeah, it is the ultimate authority he was just moving around so people wouldn’t know what he was doing, and I think getting out of the teaching profession they didn’t know what he was going to do.
He eventually applied to the Broward County Police Unit; he was rejected, though, because he failed the psychological test.
Eric Olsen: Oh that’s it he’s out of the career. No career for him He’s obviously unstable…
Dr. Cole: One, you know what? One would think so, and I actually used to perform these psych tests, and oh, do I have stories! You would think that it would even, it’s supposed to, let me tell you how it’s supposed to work, it’s supposed to prevent you from getting a job as a police officer or a prison guard.
Eric Olsen: Sure.
Dr. Cole: Does that always occur?
Eric Olsen: I would hope that it does.
Dr. Cole: No, no, no, I would say 50% of the time.
Eric Olsen: What?
Dr. Cole: It’s supposed to be a be a requirement, a REQUIREMENT, if you don’t pass, if you are not psychologically fit, you are not supposed to become a police officer or a prison guard. Does that actually preclude you from becoming a police officer even as long ago as what, 2005? No, I was doing them in 2005. Half of the people I rejected still became a cop.
Eric Olsen: How does that happen? How do they get around this?
Dr. Cole: Oh God there so many ways
Eric Olsen: Is it a buddy, a dad?
Dr. Cole: My son, he’s the son of my buddy, his dad a cop, he has to be a cop, he’s going to work in this county and we’re really understaffed, we need people, we know he failed, but it’s OK. The amount of excuses I heard to employ people.
And that’s the thing, just so the general public is aware, it’s difficult to fail, it’s difficult to fail one of these psychological…
Eric Olsen: What would cause one…
Dr. Cole: It’s not like the bar is so darned high that no one could pass, it’s nothing LIKE that, this test is just to find out is this person basically psychologically stable, are they non-sadistic, do they not have criminal or punishing tendencies or narcissistic tendencies themselves. Basically you’re trying to weed out anybody that has a like God complex; I’m judge, jury, and executioner. You want to get those people out of there. You’re trying to get people out of there that are just psychiatrically so unstable that they can’t control their emotions so, maybe some sort of bipolar thing going on or somebody that absolutely clearly has a personality disorder, like narcissistic personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder. They are not
Eric Olsen: Checks and balances. Checks and balances to protect the general public from somebody that would not do well in that position.
Dr. Cole: And I was very, yeah, I was extremely, forgiving on these psychological tests even when somebody would sort of hit sort of some of those marks on the tests we would give, I would ask in interviews I would ask a ton of questions just to be very, very sure that this person was indeed failing the psychological exam, and I did not fail that many people, but the people I failed, please believe me that it was for extremely good reasons, extremely good reasons, and half of them became cops anyway.
Eric Olsen: So when they‘d leave would they go to a different state and do it?
Dr. Cole: Hah no, they would get hired by different a county, like a couple minutes over usually. Somebody knew them and “Now let’s pick them up.” “No, no, no, he has really strong sadistic tendencies and fantasies of rape and murder, you really shouldn’t hire him” and they would. And that’s exactly, I hope it’s different that was like I said, this was in 2005, it scared the heck out of me and I said I would never have a career doing that I don’t want to know that those people are becoming officers.
Eric Olsen: Tell me it’s in the minority, though, that this happens.
Dr. Cole: It’s in the minority that people fail, the majority of people passed. But those that do fail, like I said it’s for very good reason, but half of them. Half of them got picked up. So no, it’s not a minority a full 50% got hired.
Eric Olsen: That is truly a scary number out there that 50% of...
Dr. Cole: It’s a small sample, a small sample that was in a place that was economically depressed and needed officers…

Poor guy has a sense of humor, and won't submit to islam.
They do not want decent people, or decent applicants, My FRiend. They want people that will do as they are told[ordered].
In current order of priority:
Muslims, Gays (males), Lesbians (females), Trans-Sexual (???), Antifa affiliates, Hispanics, Blacks, Women (single), Democrats.
Check back frequently as the priorities are subject to revision.
I don’t believe they can prevent you from getting employment if you don’t have a social media subscription. That would be unconstitutional in my humble opinion. I’m not a lawyer though...thank God.
I only have text and email addresses and the bosses can contact me there if they wish.
I don’t use my name here at FR or any other website.
That would require you to read the article.
“A community action group”
Anonymous pinkos?
The only way you are going to turn it around is for the law abiding, who will be the victims in a lawless world, to be made aware of what life will be like for them if they don’t start standing up for the cops.
Busy is no excuse for lazy, and telling LEOs Thank you for your service is not enough. I’m starting to be really worried.
There are shortages for cops, firemen and emt’s all over the country.
Not here in SoCal. There are huge waiting lists to hire on. The great pay, benefits and retirements make it so.
A cop with a HS diploma and a few years of experience can easily make $100,000 per year.
In another post, Brown writes, “I pledge to my family, flag and country when the day comes, I will fight till my last breath before I submit to Islam.”

And???
Shouldn’t we all be saying that, given the fact that there are already two of them in Congress. And, word on the street is, 90 more are running for Congress next year.
If you read the Muslim Brotherhood’s/CAIRs writings, their doctrine is to just outbreed everyone and take over, without firing a shot.
So, as the muslim population continues to grow in Minneapolis; NYC/Brooklyn; Dearborn, Mich; Portland, Me; Tucker-Lilburn-Doraville-Commerce-Macon, Ga; Murfreesboro, Tenn; Dallas/FW; and elsewhere, is that not something that we should be concerned about?
Damn stupid meme to post, tho.
There are a goodly number of folks who would accuse anyone who treats minorities fairly of being those @$$-kissers.
That's exactly the point, that the Left is exploiting, discouraging good people from even getting in a position to oppose them.
How?
I think I’m fairly tech-savvy, and I just don’t see a way to prove that Google, or Ford, or whoever did not hire joe blow because he posted on the KKK, or Antifa, or CPUSA, or 700 Club or whatever page.
I agree that it’s a Bad Thing, but unlike the legal records of a juvenile how can you show that a FB search or Twitter search was done?
Well, obviously if the cause given for termination or non-hire is something that appeared on a social media profile then that should be straight up illegal. But if an employee just suspects that that is the reason, then I’m pretty sure that FB or any social media company can pull any IP address and device ID that accessed a particular profile over a given period of time.
Interesting view. I doubt most potential employers give any concrete reason these days, tho. “A more competitive candidate” tio “budgetary changes” is much safer for them.
I really do doubt that someone could even reallistically begin to prove in court anything, though; even if they *DID* view the person’s social media pages (and any employer who doesn’t id de facto negligent, many would say) proving that the subject social media posts were the reason for the hire would be damned difficult.
Plus the probability that yours is greatly the minority opinion, I believe that most people would consider someone’s public statements, which is what social media seems to be, to be completely fair game. The first amendments only extends to laws made by the government prohibiting entierly political speech, I think...
Good points, though.
