Racist Man Suspended After Saying Saving One Dog Is More Important Than 1 Million Black People

An Ohio fire department has suspended
one of its volunteer firefighters for a racist
Facebook post suggesting he’d prefer to
save a dog in an emergency than a black
person.



The volunteer for Franklin Township,
identified as Tyler Roysdon, wrote that if
he had to choose between saving a dog
or a black man from a burning building,
the dog would get priority, because “one
dog is more important than a million
n****rs.”



Roysdon has since removed the post from
his Facebook page, but a screenshot
appears below.




Once the township officials discovered the
post, Roysdon was suspended indefinitely,
according to local station WHIO-TV.


They then released an official statement
about Roysdon on Thursday, confirming
that he was suspended until the
township’s board of trustees can meet to
determine his fate;

“Recently, a Franklin Township volunteer
firefighter posted unacceptable remarks
on social media. Upon gaining knowledge
of this information, Fire Chief Steve Bishop
immediately contacted the firefighter and
directed the comments be removed.



The firefighter was suspended without
pay until the Board of Township Trustees
could meet to determine a course of
action. Chief Bishop does not have the
authority to terminate employees.



Termination of any township employee
requires a vote by the Board of Trustees.”




According to HuffPost, who reached out to
Roysdon, he did not immediately respond.




A woman who identified herself as Joei
Frame Roysdon told WXIX-TV that she was
Roysdon’s wife and said;



“He admitted that he said things that were
wrong and apologized.”



She added;

“Everyone deserves a second chance and
is also entitled to their own opinion.”
