NEW YORK A 13-year veteran New York Police Department cop has been fired for sending a vile 2020 group text message mocking the death of George Floyd beneath a Minneapolis police officers knee, The New York Daily News has learned.
Probationary Sgt. Yonathan Bonifacio, whose dismissal became effective this past December, forwarded an image of Minneapolis Officer Derek Chauvin with his knee on Floyds neck as a white spirit was seen exiting the dead Black mans body, NYPD disciplinary documents showed.
Holy s---, Im finally white, says the Floyd character, while Chauvin is depicted as responding Youre welcome.
Bonifacio shared the message with nine subordinates, two of them Black officers, just three months after Floyds death ignited violence and mass protests across the country in the summer of 2020.

During one of our many fly fishing trips, he told me the sad tale of one of his underlings that had not been in the office for over a year, and was still receiving his government (paid by us) paycheck.
Dad initiated the requirements to get him fired. It took him almost two years (in which time the "employee" still received his government paycheck) to finally get the authorization to fire him.
Unions can be lifesavers for those who really need them, but sometimes they are an impediment to justice.

Unions help support our party, so I give them lots of leeway. But, two years for a parasite....mmmm, no. Lol

(3,823 posts)I support unions, but I have a REAL problem with police unions and others like them that drag the process out for absurd lengths of time, and do it to protect corrupt, unqualified people that aren't qualified to be gutter sweepers.
