Beach officer fired over Trayvon Martin comments | www.palmbeachpost.com:
"The Daytona Beach News-Journal reported (http://bit.ly/15XKSpo ) Todd Snipes was fired Friday for unprofessional conduct.
County officials say Snipes showed "horrible judgment made worse during a racially charged atmosphere."
Snipes is accused of writing a post on Facebook after George Zimmerman's acquittal in the 17-year-old's death that read:
"Another thug gone.
Pull up your pants and be respectful.
Bye bye thug r.i.p."
Snipes was a Volusia lifeguard for 24 years and a law enforcement officer for 15.
An official said Snipes apologized but that his remorse was "not in any way proportionate to this damage."
