A South Carolina sheriff’s office immediately fired one of its deputies for a racially offensive social media post pointing to Black people while he was on duty.

According to The Post and Courier, a Spartanburg County deputy was sitting in his patrol car when he took a photo of himself in a ski mask and captioned his social post with, “To find a YN, you must be a YN.”

“YN” is the abbreviated form of “young n****.”

“That kind of stuff will absolutely not be tolerated under any circumstances at this agency under my leadership,” Rhyne said at a press conference, per WYFF. “What we do in uniform and the things and the choices that we make in uniform not only reflects on themselves, but it reflects on every man and woman that wears this uniform, not only here at the sheriff’s office, but across the entire state in the United States.”

Rhyne said the deputy violated policies that dictate that staff members must not behave in ways that discredit themselves or the sheriff’s office or post “ethnically derogatory material” on social media.
