They should screen applicants before things like this happen.

Screen them for what? Voicing an opinion?

She well should have been fired. It's good to know that a gov't agency can still actually fire people for some things. If she had been caught stealing stuff from her office, or refusing to dispatch cops for conservative crime victims, she would have been placed on paid administrative leave.

Screen them how exactly?

"Do you post racist chit on Facebook?"

"No."

"Great, you're hired."

Sounds like things liberals say about conservatives and businesses.

Having trouble finding a job? What are you posting on your Facebook?

Well, she's apparently describing herself as she wasn't bright enough not to put such nonsense on social media. Oh well.

The City of Dallas has a social media policy that she agreed to follow when she took the job.

She has nobody but herself to blame.

I don't know...this firing seems kinda flimsy. Based on a FB rant?

Meh...I don't agree with it it.

Still, folks should be more careful about what they post on social media.
