An Ohio sheriff's deputy was fired Wednesday after he admitted to posting racist comments on his Twitter account.
Clark County Sheriff Gene Kelly confirmed to The Huffington Post that deputyZachary Davis was terminated after the sheriff's office received a complaint about a series of racially insensitive tweets Davis published to his Twitter account in April.
Kelly said he received an email from a concerned community member who expressed anger over tweets Davis sent in the days after protests unfolded in Baltimore following the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray. Davis' tweets compared the unrest in the city to a "real life planet of the apes," and described Baltimore residents as “ignorant young people” who deserve “every stereotype they’ve ever been labeled.”
