A Mentone, Alabama police officer is facing termination after he posted two racially-charged images on social media.
The mayor of Mentone, Rob Hammond, confirmed that Ross Greenwood is on administrative leave, but could not be reached for comment, according to the Fort Payne Times-Journal.
However, Greenwood told AL.com the Mentone Police Department put him on leave because of the posts.
One of the posts showed a picture of George Floyd on a twenty-dollar bill, saying the treasury department would honor him by placing him on a counterfeit version. Floyd was accused of using a counterfeit $20 the day of his arrest and death while in police custody.
A second post showed basketball hall-of-fame member Shaquille O’Neal re-imagined as the Quaker Oats logo.
No decision on Greenwood’s employment has been reached at this time.
