How about an interview with him to see if there was racial intent?

And just like that, watermelon started disappearing from the world.

"There is zero tolerance for discriminatory behavior inside the Detroit Fire Department." And how exactly is bringing a watermelon to work discriminatory?

Some people are so delicate that they are not worth working with. I’m just surprised to find firefighters in that category. He’s lucky he lost that job; putting his life in the hands of racists would have been a waste.

...Pattison by phone who claims it was not a joke - and he did not mean to offend his fellow firefighters. But he clearly did.
No, they were offended by what he did - difference.

So, if a probationary employee in a police department had brought in donuts, would they be fired?

Do you think he would have been fired in the old days if he had brought Irish bread?
We are letting ONE minority run the country.

For some reason, I always see blacks getting orange drinks from soda machines. I will never, ever bring orange drinks to a fire station!

” Should he have lost his job over a watermelon?”
Absolutely Not. Someone is giving you a gift.
Pitiful. Shame on Detroit Fire Dept. BTW, - If that’s how they run their fire dept., (?).... the guy is much better off, staying clear from people like that!
