"Two white officers for the McIntosh County Sheriff’s Department in Georgia lost their jobs after an internal affairs investigation revealed a series of racist and sexist messages exchanged between the two men on Facebook, including one message that seemed to suggest that the officers discriminated against African Americans while on duty.
