White Man Suspended After Saying Saving The Life Of a Dog Is More Important Than saving 1 Million Black People

An Ohio fire department has suspended one of its volunteer
firefighters for a racist Facebook post suggesting he’d prefer
to save a dog in an emergency than a black person.
The volunteer for Franklin Township, identified as Tyler
Roysdon, wrote that if he had to choose between saving a
dog or a black man from a burning building, the dog would
get priority, because “one dog is more important than a
million n****rs.”
Roysdon has since removed the post from his Facebook page,
but a screenshot appears below.
Once the township officials discovered the post, Roysdon was
suspended indefinitely, according to local station WHIO-TV.

They then released an official statement about Roysdon on
Thursday, confirming that he was suspended until the
township’s board of trustees can meet to determine his fate;

“Recently, a Franklin Township
volunteer firefighter posted
unacceptable remarks on social media.
Upon gaining knowledge of this
information, Fire Chief Steve Bishop
immediately contacted the firefighter
and directed the comments be
removed.
The firefighter was suspended without
pay until the Board of Township
Trustees could meet to determine a
course of action. Chief Bishop does
not have the authority to terminate
employees.
Termination of any township employee
requires a vote by the Board of
Trustees.”

According to HuffPost, who reached out to Roysdon, he did
not immediately respond.
A woman who identified herself as Joei Frame Roysdon told
WXIX-TV that she was Roysdon’s wife and said;

“He admitted that he said things that
were wrong and apologized.”
She added;
“Everyone deserves a second chance
and is also entitled to their own
opinion.”
