Six Miami firefighters have been fired after someone hung a noose over a black colleagues family photo and drew lewd images on a picture of his wife.

The terminations, handed down Wednesday, follow a police investigation into the Sept. 9 incident at a city fire station. More than 20 people were interviewed under oath and nearly a dozen firefighters were investigated, including five who remain employed by the department and under scrutiny. Among those fired: William W. Bryson, the son of former Fire Chief William Shorty Bryson.

In a statement, Miami City Manager Daniel Alfonso said investigators uncovered sexually explicit and racially offensive conduct by the citys employees. He said personnel assigned to the station were transferred after the incident was reported, and 11 firefighters were relieved of duty with pay ahead of Wednesdays firings.

We cannot and will not tolerate behavior that is disrespectful, hurtful and compromises the integrity of the department and the City of Miami, Alfonso said.

Plenty more to the story in the link. That fire department has a pretty interesting history.

Many firehouses have a frat boy/locker room type atmosphere so I'm not surprised that something like this would eventually happen. You can't do something like that, especially not to one of your coworkers. Firings were more than fair, plenty of firefighters would love to have their jobs.

Yeah I mean I can understand doing something like stealing the new guy's towel and clothes from the locker room or sending him out to find the siren grease or something dumb like that, but... full on hate symbols? That's kind of outrageous.

I don't have to insult you. I have proven that you are a hypocrite and a fool. That's not insulting you, that's exposing you.
