A sheriff's deputy in Lee County, Florida was fired from the department after telling an inmate that he resembled George Floyd, asking him to say “I can’t breathe,” USA Today reported.

Internal affairs reports released on Wednesday showed that Rodney Payne, who had been fired on Aug. 26, had his appointments withdrawn, USA Today reported.

Payne is accused of two claims of improper conduct in July when he worked in a local corrections unit.

The investigation found that Payne made the remarks to a specific inmate who he believed resembled George Floyd, asking him to recite Floyd’s last words before he died. Payne said the remarks while his immediate supervisor was present, USA Today reported.

Why do that?

Boredom?

Lack of judgment?

Someone that does that has very poor reasoning and decision making skills. He needed to be fired.

Probably why he took it so hard. It was probably supposed to be him.
