[one...two...tree 2,762]

The Miami-Dade Fire and Rescue Department opened an investigation into a racist post on one of its captains’ Facebook page. According to The Grio, Brian Beckmann, a captain in the Miami-Dade fire department, posted a rant on his Facebook page suggesting that Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman was unjustly accused and that Martin’s killing can be blamed upon poor parenting by “urban” parents who are “welfare dependent”:

For the record, Trayvon Martin’s mother is a program coordinator at the Miami-Dade Housing Authority. His father is a truck driver. So neither parent is “dependent” on welfare.

And your wife works for a BIA funded native Alaskan hospital. What is your point?

The Fire Chief made it out to sound like Trayvon's parents weren't employed and I pointed out that his mom is. I have no idea about his dad.

Steven mentioned his mother's employment there and his father's employment as a truck driver in the OP. Regardless, I misinterpreted your post, and I'm sorry.

Trayvon's parents must have been making good money. I mean does dental insurance cover gold teeth?
