The Fort Worth Police Department has put one officer on “indefinite suspension” and continues the investigation into a second officer after the two recently posted a racist meme on their joint Facebook page.
Today (Thursday, Oct. 1), Officer Roger Ballard “received an indefinite suspension for violating departmental General Orders related to social media use,” according to a statement from the Fort Worth PD’s Public Information Office. “An indefinite suspension is equivalent to termination.
The statement botes that FWPD’s Internal Affairs division “is continuing to investigate the extent of the involvement of the second officer.” The second officer, sources told Dallas Voice, is Roger Ballard’s wife, Katie Ballard.
