Sometime in or around August/September of 2019, Wayne "Duke" Brown was fired from Tulsa Police Department for violating the department's Social Media Policy.
He was only a month out of the police academy when Tulsa police fired him after a community group dug up some memes he had put on Facebook, some implying he was violent and anti-Islam.
Tulsa Public Radio published screenshots of the social media posts:
Shortly after being fired, Rogers County Sheriff, Scott Walton, with knowledge of the unbecoming conduct, hired Brown claiming:
“If I thought he had a racist bone in his body or would be a problem to this community, he'd have never even got an interview,”
We will not stand by as our brothers and sisters are brutalized, criminalized, and silenced.
We reject a world where the powerful profit from our poverty and our lives are treated as expendable. We will not wait for justice to be handed down from above.
We will organize, resist, and take it for ourselves.
WE ARE NO LONGER ASKING...
