New Jersey Corrections Officer Suspended And FedEx Employee Fired After Mocking George Floyd's Death In 'Hateful' Video part 2

Jim DeMarco was "immediately removed" from his work duties at FedEx while they conduct an investigation according to a response the shipping giant posted. The company later released a statement stating DeMarco was fired and that FedEx "holds its team members to a high standard of personal conduct, and we do not tolerate the kind of appalling and offensive behavior depicted in this video."
The behavior depicted in the video, which involved a FedEx employee, is appalling and offensive. The employee in question was immediately removed from all FedEx work duties while our investigation is concluded and all internal procedures are followed.— FedEx (@FedEx) June 9, 2020
FedEx holds its team members to a high standard of personal conduct, and we do not tolerate the kind of appalling and offensive behavior depicted in this video. The individual involved is no longer employed by FedEx. We stand with those who support justice and equality.— FedEx (@FedEx) June 9, 2020
Meanwhile, the other brother, Joe DeMarco—who works in the criminal justice system as a corrections officer with the New Jersey Department Of Corrections—was "suspended and banned" from NJDOC facilities for the foreseeable future while an investigation is conducted.

However, due to the nature of the video, people are demanding that further action, including firing DeMarco and a thorough examination of his caseload as a corrections officer, should be undertaken.
Please look through his records - especially at cases where people’s prison time was extended because of reports filed by him.— Carrie🌻 (@carrielogo) June 9, 2020
this man needs to be FIRED. Do you really think the citizens of NJ want our people that have been (probably injustly) incarcerated being treated like this by him????!!!!! FIRE HIM NOW. There's nothing to investigate. that was a RACIST display of HATRED to black people everywhere.— nic (@nicolercastro) June 9, 2020

Someone who so proudly displays their racism should not be given a platform of power. I understand the need for an investigation, but the video is very clear. Fire him!! We will not forget!— Brooke (@BeeAshleigh) June 9, 2020
It seems that the process of bad actors making themselves known has only just begun.
