The officer was part of a group filmed taunting Black Lives Matter demonstrators by having a man kneel on another man's neck, imitating the circumstances of George Floyd's death.
The New Jersey Department of Corrections said it was made aware that one of its officers had participated in the"hateful and disappointing" video and that the unnamed individual has since been suspended from their post and banned from all facilities"pending a thorough and expedited investigation."
"FedEx holds its team members to a high standard of personal conduct, and we do not tolerate the kind of appalling and offensive behavior depicted in this video," the company said in a statement late Tuesday."The individual involved is no longer employed by FedEx. We stand with those who support justice and equality."
