A probationary Oakland Police Department officer has been fired after racist, derogatory comments she made on her public Facebook page 12 years ago came to light.
OPD issued a statement on Wednesday. They said they learned of the bigoted content last Friday. They immediately launched an internal investigation and decided to fire the officer.
Univision first reported that the officer is Jocelyn Chang Newman, 30. A source later confirmed that to KTVU.
