After being suspended for months, the City of Cincinnati announced Monday that police officer Rose Valentino has been fired.
As we previously reported, the 14-year veteran was caught on her body camera saying “f****** n******,I f****** hate em.” while on duty and in uniform.In a statement Monday, interim police chief Teresa Theetge said Valentino’s use of the word was “not only inexcusable and incredibly hurtful,” but damaged the relationship the department has built with the community.
“Officer Valentino’s clear loss of her emotions and ready use of the racial slur tarnished her ability to work with any community member or member of the Cincinnati Police Department hurt by her hateful words,” Theetge said. “This significantly reduces, if not eliminates, Officer Valentino’s ability to be a productive member of the police department. I want to be clear; this type of hateful speech will not be tolerated by anyone who works for the Cincinnati Police Department, sworn or civilian.”
