re:
"...Now he's suing to get his job back because, he says, he's black.
What a crock......"

Must have missed this part, huh?

".....The manner in which he was handled is different from the
way non-black drivers and firefighters are handled," Shackelford said.

In his suit, Wesley claims that other EMS drivers caught making
unscheduled stops either were not fired or were later reinstated....."

It looks like they have some problems in that entire area. But this guy's
entitled to due process and that's the decision [so far].

How long would it take a judge to review how many other COMPLAINTS about doughnut stops were filed? The other stops were likely bathroom related.

Did you see this part of the article?
The boy's mother filed a complaint that led then-Fire Chief Lester Tyra to fire Wesley, a 20-year department veteran. The Firefighters' and Police Officers' Civil Service Commission upheld Wesley's firing, and Wesley did not appeal the decision.
He haddue process and didn't appeal. Now he sues?
