In February 2021, Sgt. Brian Hussey posted a comment on his personal Facebook page referring to George Floyd as a ‘career criminal, a thief and a druggie.’ The post was visible for two hours before being deleted. The department placed Hussey on administrative leave and later suspended him for four days without pay, citing that his comments undermined public trust. Hussey filed a lawsuit claiming violation of his First Amendment rights, but the court dismissed the case, upholding the department’s disciplinary actions.
