THE REBEL FLAG

[HairOfTheDog]

I hadn't seen the story until your last post, Tiki.


Police Chief Eddie Driggers issues a termination letter to the officer, Sgt. Shannon Dildine (pic above), saying the photo undermines the officer's "ability to improve trust and instill confidence when working with our citizens."

"Your posting in this manner led to you being publicly identified as a North Charleston Police officer and associated both you and the Department with an image that symbolizes hate and oppression to a significant portion of the citizens we are sworn to serve," Driggers wrote.

Dildine has ten days to appeal the decision.

If the officer had simply had a post on Facebook of himself wearing or displaying the Confederate flag, I'd think the Chief's decision to terminate the officer was bullshit.

But, it appears that the officer instead intentionally posted something publicly a couple of days ago that compromises the best interests of his employer. If that's the case, the officer is an idiot.

Anyway, it will be interesting to hear from the officer directly and see if he launches an appeal.
