TAMPA — A Tampa police lieutenant who filed a federal complaint saying he was a victim of racial discrimination has been fired because he was untruthful in that complaint, police officials said Friday.
Dwayne “D.J.” Johnson, 42, who joined the force in 1994, was terminated Friday morning after an internal affairs investigation determined he misrepresented the reason he was put on administrative duty in March 2008.
Jeff Stull, Johnson’s attorney, said he expects his client to appeal.
“We disagree with the findings of the Tampa Police Department and we intend to pursue the due process rights through the grievance procedure,” he said.
The Tampa Police Department maintains that Johnson was put on administrative duty after his ex-wife filed a temporary domestic violence injunction against him on March 7, 2008. The domestic court order restricted Johnson from possessing any guns, including his duty weapons, according to the internal affairs report.
Additionally, Johnson had been observed yelling at work, ordering other officers to arrest his wife, police spokeswoman Laura McElroy said. As a result, Johnson was placed on administrative leave, stripped from wearing his uniform or driving his police car, and ordered to undergo psychological testing to evaluate his fitness for duty.
Johnson showed up to Dr. Vincent Skotko’s office for the evaluation on March 10, 2008, but refused to sign paperwork allowing the results to be shared with his employer, records show.
Johnson’s captain went to Skotko’s office and ordered him “per the chief of police, you are to sign these releases and participate in this examination,” according to a March 26, 2008 memo from then-Assistant Chief Jane Castor to then-Chief Steve Hogue.
Johnson reported that he was told he would be relieved of duty if he didn’t sign the forms, according to Castor.
Johnson continued to refuse. He then disobeyed his major’s orders by going to Hogue’s office and demanding a meeting with him, then heading to Mayor Pam Iorio’s office when he was told Hogue was unavailable, according to the report.
As Iorio entered the building, “Lt. Johnson immediately approached the mayor, blocked her path and engaged her in a brief but unsolicited and inappropriate conversation in full public view,” the report states.
Iorio reported the incident to Hogue.
When Johnson filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on March 13, 2008, he stated he had been suspended from his job “unjustly and discriminatorily. “Source”
Does that bar of soap really exist?
A wonderful stocking stuffer.
Here we have the anatomy of a chimp-out. Notice that the good lieutenant ordered police to arrest his wife. This is the typical sub-Saharan habit of using governmental power for personal repraisal.
Res ipsa loquitur, in Latin, means “The thing speaks for itself”.
Just a negro behaving as he is genetically programed. No one should be surprised.
where can I get some of that soap?
Typical non white tactic. They do this to themselves and claim someone else did it so as to curry sympathy and or draw away any negative spotlight that may be on them. Jews in my neighborhood have painted swastikas on their own synagogues, just like they did a few months ago that NYS Rep. Sheldon Silver attends and they REALLY wanted extra police protection for his visit but were probably denied so they painted a swastika on their synagogue and guess what? The very next day they got extra police protection.
[LMAO] Those evil “Nazis” made soap bars out of the Negroids as well I see, oh wait, this is America so must of been the Klan that turned the porch monkey’s into soap bars(LOL).
Sadly, Y’all I think this is just a satire image and do not think it is real.
Yeah this is (TNB) using their power to intimidate people they do not like.
Here is the sites dedicated to it although you need Quicktime installed.
