In June 2020, Officer Ryan Snow was terminated after posting a photo on Facebook depicting a protester in the crosshairs of a rifle scope, accompanied by the caption: ‘Exhale. Feel. Pause. Press steadily. That’s what’s next.’ This post was in response to protests over the death of Rayshard Brooks. Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis stated that the post ‘sickened’ him and did not adhere to the department’s standards.
