“We have raised the apparent existence of the image and directed commands to survey the worksites for it,” the department added. “If found any employee or supervisor is directed to take possession and identify those present. The Department will have zero tolerance for this type of behavior. ”


WHAT DID GEORGE FLOYD VALENTINE MEME ACTUALLY SAY?

The meme was a picture of Floyd with the caption, “You take my breath away”.


“I just received word through the chain of command of a complaint that was generated on an inappropriate online post from a Department member,” Captain James Mastick of the Harbor Patrol division said in an email. “The post depicts a photo of George Floyd, with a caption, ‘you take my breath away’ in a valentine format.”
