Former Fort Lauderdale police chief Larry Scirotto, 48, was fired after an inquiry found that he asked 'which one is blacker?' when considering a promotion

The inquiry also claimed Scirotto once said a conference room wall of photos was 'too white' and added, 'I'm gonna change that'

Scirotto has vehemently denied the accusations, and has insisted he gave promotions based on merit to staff who happened to be minorities

He is also accused of working as a high school basketball referee while being on the clock as chief

'The Chief was paid by the City for these unauthorized schedule adjustments, totaling an estimated 55.50 hours,' a memo by a since-fired city auditor read
