A photo of Dildine surfaced which shows him wearing the confederate flag style underwear. The photo was actually posted on Dildine’s Facebook page during the past few days after the Charleston killings which resulted in the deaths of nine unarmed and innocent Melanoid church members last week. North Charleston police chief Eddie Driggers released a statement, which reads, “Your posting in this manner led to you being publicly identified as a North Charleston Police officer and associated both you and the Department with an image that symbolizes hate and oppression to a significant portion of the citizens we are sworn to serve”. The letter also reads that “In light of current events posting an inflammatory photograph in a way that permitted it to become widely distributed shows a lack of reason or judgment that is unacceptable,”

According to the letter, Dildine has 10 days to appeal this decision.

Here’s a link to the story.
