Firefighter fired for bringing in toilet paper with Obama's pic on it

12/4/2012

A Pompano Beach, Fla., firefighter has been fired for bringing a roll of toilet paper featuring President Obama's face on it to his fire station. And while that might spark an argument over free speech, the event was Clint Pierce's third instance of bringing politically themed materials into the station, in violation of a direct order not to do so. Fire Chief Harry L. Small determined that Pierce's behavior was not racially motivated, but the politics created a "divisiveness within the department and community" that was deemed unacceptable on city property. Piece had been with the department for 19 years. [Source]
