The New York Corrections Department has said that it would move to fire a longtime officer who allegedly joked online about the recent mass shooting in Buffalo, denouncing a “vile posting” that “does not represent the morals and values” of its staff.
The state’s Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) said that correction officer Gregory Foster II has been suspended without pay and that an internal investigation would “identify and discipline any staff who may have engaged” with Mr Foster’s Facebook post.
