Fort Worth Officer Fired Over Social Media Posts

A three-year veteran of the Fort Worth Police Department was fired Tuesday after another officer discovered "racially insensitive and inappropriate" social media posts, the department says.

Ofc. Chadwick Hughes was fired after an internal affairs investigation confirmed he was responsible for the posts, Fort Worth police told NBCDFW .

Police said new Chief Neil Noakes agreed with the determination that Hughes had violated the department's social media policy.
