Florida cop suspended for racially insensitive Instagram posts


An embattled Florida deputy was suspended for 10 days after violating the agency’s social media policy with a series of controversial Instagram posts perceived as racist.
An internal investigation with Jacksonville County Sheriff’s Office probed Lt. Trudy Callahan, a 20-year-veteran of the police force, and her Instagram account where she posted an image of a black man lounging on a chain-linked fence.

 “Yeah its almost Friday so get your Hood Hammock,” Callahan wrote in a caption from 2015. “Ready to chillax.”
 In the wake of racist allegations, Callahan deleted her Instagram account and is now appealing her suspension from the agency,according to reports
