You're right about needing to hold law enforcement to a higher standard, but honestly these people should face consequences even by civilian standards. If you work at McDonald's, and you go on a forum for McDonald's employees and brag about screwing up customer's orders all the time for fun, there is nothing wrong with McDonald's firing you for that.
- traderjane 7y agoWhen an employer releases an employee, the rationale imposed upon the employer ought not be ones motivated by social punishment, but rather pure business pragmatism. It's not the employer's job to punish individuals that society doesn't like, such as firing them for racism at McDonalds. Should a racist never have a job?
- mattnewton 7y agoI would think racism would affect their ability to do jobs that have interacting with the public and representing a brand as key responsibilities. So in the Mcdonald’s case, no I wouldn’t hire a racist for Mcdonald’s. I’m sure there are jobs that don’t require that, and then maybe it wouldn’t be relevant. In any case, racists aren’t a protected class, and I believe racism is a changeable set of beliefs and behaviors. In this specific case, LEO interacts with the public and they represent the executive branch of the government of the United States of America. I’m pretty sure racism would be a problem.
