Detroit Captain Reinstated by Arbitrator
A Detroit Fire Department captain who was terminated last summer after a series of racist posts, has been reinstated by an arbitrator.
Captain Tim Goodman was suspended and later terminated over Facebook posts that were characterized as “xenophobic and racist” by the Council on American-Islamic Relations of Michigan. It was reported that over 100 posts were identified as offensive. Nevertheless, he was ordered reinstated by an arbitrator.
