| Description | A US firefighter has been sacked for putting toilet paper imprinted with President Barack Obama's face in a fire station restroom.
It was the third time Clint Pierce had posted political paraphernalia on city property and a violation of a direct order to cease and desist from such behaviour, according to city records.
He had until 5pm on Friday to turn in his badge.
'It was clearly a case of insubordination,' said Sandra King, a spokeswoman for the city of Pompano Beach.
'He had a similar situation of posting political messages on city property, and he was given a free pass at that time and told to cease and desist, and he did it again and really exacerbated the situation.'
Pierce, 50, had been with the department since November 1993. He could not be reached for comment on Friday. |
