Video posted on social media shows one of the men, whose names have not been released, shouting,"Comply with the cops and this wouldn't happen."
In response to the incident, the New Jersey Department of Corrections revealed that one of the counterprotesters mocking Floyd was an employee. “We have been made aware that one of our officers participated in the filming of a hateful and disappointing video that mocked the killing of George Floyd,” the department said in a statement posted on social media. “The individual has been suspended and banned from NJDOC facilities pending a thorough and expedited investigation.”
FedEx said another person involved in the incident was one of their employees who has since been terminated. “We do not tolerate the kind of appalling and offensive behavior depicted in this video,” the company said in a statement to NBC News on Wednesday. “The individual involved is no longer employed by FedEx.”“Mocking George Floyd’s murder in effort to belittle the calls for justice from our Black and Brown communities is repugnant,” theBen Kesslen
hudock_c What the fuck is wrong with people? Hasn’t that guy ever heard of drinking a couple six packs with his buddy and screaming at the TV?
Must be so burdensome to carry around that hate.
Morrghan America. Hate to be living there now. So full of hate and so little care. Sad. All sparked by Trump of course.
Ponks
People like this make me ashamed of my own race. The ignorance these two men are showing in this pic makes me sick to my stomach. Can this world ever change?
BrendaLaGrone Send them to basic training and then onto Afghanistan. Then they can tell us what they think of the bases they trained or served at.
Biiiiiiiiiitch
How can this correctional officier do his job if he is racist?
Love that racists are being fired.
WHAT?😕😕😕😩😩😩
2 down & millions to go down with them dishonorable Supremacists.
Like I said ppl don't like change! 🤦♂️👎
Thank You - NJ Corrections & FedEx for making it clear, piddlers who peddle in Racism, will not be tolerated nor welcome in your industry!
mock no more!!!
You've gotta have some sort of psychological deficit to find these types of antics appropriate. Racism - It's Not Only a Crime, It's a Disease!
Are covering captain David Dorin death or all the deaths I’m Chicago or all the innocent people & police officers killed in these riots PLEASE GIVE US A DAM BREAK
God dayumm, Stupid people really just can't accept it. But if it was blacks doing that to a white. They'd be in jail forever. It should be, if anyone holds anyone else down to the point they can't breathe, it should be seen by all people, including the other cops, as WRONG.
Both should've been fires. Zero tolerance for racism and bullying.
This is pitiful
Read my tweet! These two NJ Brothers are an absolute DISGRACE!! MR. FLOYDS FAMILY IS HURTING AND IN MOURNING!! STOP! This is absolutely HORRIBLE.
Good. There should be consequences for everybody.
stbluvoter They are disgusting idiots..
Wow...just 10 miles north of Franklinville...one of the bigger high schools in S. Jersey...thread from ex student about open racism from students & teachers.
Good. Actions have consequences.
Dumbasses
Cockroaches.
Just disgusting!!!!
Yay!
Picture showed the two guys, who are both white, mocking George Floyd’s death at a Congress. Will they got fired too?
Mark my words...more racism will be the result of this. Not less. Not the cause, but the result. Congrats.
Read it and weep
Disgusting human beings! I would have expected more from New Jerseyians. I used to live in that state in the early 70s .
Fire them both.
Gonna need NJ Department of Corrections to fire that fool....
So both the FedEx employee and the Corrections Officer are in this video?
KatyTurNBC How disgusting and depraved!
Wish there were Blacklisted rules for some terminations...
Fine people on both sides 45 His cult followers are racist and sick. BlackLivesMatter BunkerTrump
Dudes like these are your typical true believers. No matter what happens they stick to their guns right to the end. Trying to reason with them is pointless. They truly believe that Trump cares about them enough that they tattoo his freaking name on their bodies .
nslbc187 The guy from corrections was only suspended. He needs to be terminated NOW!
Why is ending racism a debate? WTF is wrong with you people?
Atrocious
Either it’s a deep down in the soul kind of hatred that causes some people to behave in such a way about tragedy, or it’s that Neanderthal thing that disconnects from non-Neanderthal humans. All I know is this behavior is the epitome of unnatural.
I mean what else was to be done. Because you can doesn’t always mean do it.
I'm calling this one right now: Trump supporters!
KatyTurNBC When will the unrepentant racists figure out that they're losing?
Play Racist Games. Win Unemployment Prizes
YES!!! THANK YOU!!
These people really think they won't be caught. Their hate is so strong lol
I’m very concerned that we have so many people lacking in basic humanity.Can we not ask how would I feel if this was my loved one?Or are we admitting that our racism & white supremacist views have overtaken our core and left us without a heart or human decency? BlackLivesMatter
Well that's just karma right there. Don't speak badly of the departed or you will be sorry. Haven't you seen Ghost Adventures?
Stupid is as stupid does. Ha ha, not so funny now.
Says who they really are. Sad to see grown men acting like 8th grade bullies on the school yard. Deplorable human beings, and that might be a generous description. I am sad for them. Clearly do not value human life.
JAMES AND JOE DEMARCO
Justice for floydgeorge. The corrections officer still needs to be fired.
Wow,wow,wow,wow, wow! Unbelievable! Every dog has its day, When you dig one hole dig two and last but not least the seed you sow you surely shall reap it.
KatyTurNBC I’m gonna go out on a limb here but does anyone think these jugheads might feel a wee bit enabled by flying the Trump banner? I can’t help but think they’re actions might be a reflection of their beliefs.
Some scum of the earth enjoy showing everyone that they are just that. If these guys are into that role I’m sure they are in every aspect of their pathetic lives.
This is absolutely horrible, and the fact that these acts were committed in my own back yard is utterly disgusting. If you support this behavior unfollow me
If you ever think you’re dealing with human beings when interacting with trump supporters. Think again. They’re openly and proudly mocking the murder of an African American man. trumpsupportersaremorons
This should be a flat out firing, period.
One persons mocking another persons sarcasm. I think it was sarcasm and protected speech!
So FedEx has a no tolerance, but the Dept of corrections gives a time out, probably paid. And we wonder why we still have these problems.
Nobody ever gets anywhere acting in such a way and losing two highly regarded well paying jobs shows your actions really just fail you.
Thank you Fedex now, about screening your employees🤔please, let’s do better together.
realDonaldTrump please condemn this behavior and disassociate yourself and your real followers from these bums
whenever i run into something about GEORGE FLOYD I cannot breathe either .believe me as a surgeon i have witnessed a lot terrible stuff ,but GEORGE'S video still suffocates me
News media adding fuel to the fire!!
KatyTurNBC Good they lost their jobs. They should have to do some community service in a black neighborhood , maybe then they could develop some human kindness!😳
Awesome, FedEx .
A corrections officer?! Now, do ya'll see what we've been saying?!
KatyTurNBC Sad 😞
Lol! Wish I could of been there!! Good for them!
So, FedEx fires bigots and Department of Corrections gives them time off.
WoodfordinDK Good! They deserve so much more than this. KarmSumal
KatyTurNBC funny...weird al sharp-tongue sounds like a communist...he wants a centralized government that has power over the states...this is fundamentally un-american and anti-constitution...it is the basis for communism...
they will be screaming 'BUT MUH FREEDUMS!'
Good! Now hopefully they fire the suspended one upon investigation
Now they *really* feel aggrieved. I'm sure they're blaming everyone else for being fired.
Jersey Trump Voters. This is what Trump is all about. He brings out this kind of behavior. Because White supremacists feel safe with Trump in charge.
That's just the beginning since trump got into office give there has been a rise in harrassment against Hispanics & blacks people are getting fed up. Not everyone would react this way but enough is enough
Just how deplorable do you have to be? Enjoy not getting unemployment fedex dude.
Commonsense would have told them not to do it but you know how people these days until they get what's coming like that Karen at a gas station who got her ass served thinking she can talk her racist shit without consequences.
Actions have consequences
Deuteronomy 32:21 reveals that YAHWEH (God according to america) promised to anger Israel (the negro) by a foolish nation (gentiles, europeans, white folk) a people who aren’t a people at all. This picture confirms that God is true to HIS word.
Where's the statement from them explaining how they are misunderstood?
Good! Now FedEx should reinstate the two NY drivers that were fired after they stood up for them selves against a racist package recipient.
They should both be fired for being “STUPID”🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
So that’s who’s watching the inmates. His management knows what he is. They condone it cause he’s a good ole boy
No unemployment for you
MONSTERS
They were stupid. But they weren't harming anybody so in the context of other things happening, don't care.
Prosecute and jail the whole lot of them!!
And you wanted to tell there are only few bad people in the Police?
These sick puppies simply can't contain their hate and racism. The freedom & liberty they enjoy, they don't want others to have. Isn't that the problem? How would this demon feel if his son, brother or father was the person on the ground having his life stolen from him? uhm!
They’ll have to look, if this corrections-officer, has Kill any inmates? This people are known for Killing inmates... more if they are the racist trash.
Nobody suspended or fired (or to this matter - did anything at all) in my case of humiliation and mistreatment by DFOBuffalo agents at the US border for 27 months!
KatyTurNBC Good
Stupid and childish
Imagine thinking this is funny. Wow
NBC pushing one-sided racial division every chance they get. They are as despicable as the idiots they are covering.
Why are they not fired?
Now cover this from the “protests”...
Notice the sign in the back? They were not supporting. Following their dark lord traitor trump.
So the corrections officer who should know better because of his job is just suspended. The FedEx guy gets fired. Why is that right?
what's wrong with people?
d_gonz91 TwitterPD did it again 👏🏽
Why don’t people get “The world is watching”? How do you put that in your resume. “Were you ever fired from a job?” “Uhm yeah, for doing some racist shit”. Smh
I hope this disgusting excuse for a human being never finds a job again, has no health care, loses his home and even all THAT would not make up for this Trumpism behavior. He can go to he!!
Release their names. We have to make sure the correction officer is fired after the “investigation.”
KatyTurNBC they should be a shame of them selfs but haters never are
Wow! these crazies come out of nowhere wow
I don't worry about stupid people like these guys because there is a GOD in heaven who sits high and looks low. These guys will get there reward and they will suffer.
Haha just had to throw the 'both white' in there. This is why you're pissing away revenue and losing ground to randoms with web cams.
Byeeee Felicia.... don’t let the door hit you on the cheeks!
What happened to free speech?
Suspended If he is this ignorant and cruel out in the open imagine how he treats the inmates he watches over. Despicable.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂SCUMBAGS😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
KatyTurNBC Right-wingers, particularly Trump's base, tend to be disgusting people. Here's another one . . .
realDonaldTrump these are your supporters? VoteBidenToSaveAmerica
GovMurphy And why wasn’t the corrections officer fired? That’s like a slap on the wrist. He should be fired. FireCorrectionOfficer RacismIsAVirus RacismInAmerica
Great!
The correction officer is going back to work? When? Will he be overseeing black people? PoliceBrutalityPandemic
A corrections officer.. you don't say? Further exposing the depths of white supremacists in the justice system. AbolishThePolice ACAB DrainTheSwamp
KatyTurNBC They had too many budweisers

FedEx Bakari_Sellers VanJones68 JusticeForAll progress thank you FedEx
Trumpsveryfinepeople
realDonaldTrump congrats this is what you have allowed to happen openly in this country
As they should have been!!
Suspended? They meant fired right?
Incitement to violence. Pepperspray these idiots.
Do these assholes know people have cameras on their phones?
What if the correctional officer was kneeling on a dollar bill why he was crying to God for help as he watched the American flag being burned.
KatyTurNBC I truly believe a new better society is being born.
KatyTurNBC Fed Ex get your act together firing black men who stood up for their rights and having white supremacy in the ranks.dump FedEx
Wtf is wrong w people?
Thank you FedEx ... Now can you hire back two African-American employees you fired recently for standing up to racism? FedExHR
How immature and stupid these guys are! They think this is funny? Now they gotta grow up and go job hunting cuz they were so funny! Well one does anyway, the jail guard will be too I bet!!
It was their right to do this!! And it was great they got pimp slapped for it 😂
KatyTurNBC NJGov They both need to be fired.
Seemed like a good idea at the time.
KEEP SHOWING STUPIDITY!! YOU'RE FIRED!!!!!
When a criminal becomes a hero, everyone has something to do
KatyTurNBC I wonder who they'll blame for their 'lack of gainful employment'? 😀
Hey NavyFlyBoyUSA aka John K Stahl come and get your boys. LittleMr3Percent tcot KAG
Asshole
KatyTurNBC This is trumpy 101.
It's OK to burn the flag though...
So shocked by the Trump flag in the back. Who would have guessed these were Trumptards
KatyTurNBC Good...how stupid....phones everyone has one and they take pics and videos... a lot of dull tools in the shed bc of fake sharpening by trump.
Once again IGNORANCE shows it's ugly head.Trump must be loving this.
JanJanWard why can't I be an asshole in public and still keep my customer facing job?
It seems quite a few people would rather lose their jobs than exhibit decency. Man in Ky who hung effigy of Gov. Beshear lost his job. At least companies are taking action to stand on the right side of history.
Good.
No self awareness
KatyTurNBC These are 'Keep America Great' voters. Great, aren't they?
KatyTurNBC It gonna be real hard for them finding a job in the middle of a pandemic, and having to list why you are unemployed....... 'I was an idiot racist'.
KatyTurNBC realDonaldTrump all the best people. GOP 😳
Idiots not funny at all
KatyTurNBC Good. Those people should be shamed and humiliated.
Wow
KatyTurNBC These people are broken, no humanity. I feel sorry for them. The world is leaving them behind and they haven't figured it out yet.
KatyTurNBC
KatyTurNBC That’s good for his ass!
KatyTurNBC What the actual FUCK! Put em the same cell with dude that killed George Floyd!
Wonderful
KatyTurNBC Thank you FedEx. BLM
KatyTurNBC Good to see FedEx has higher standards than our corrections departments
KatyTurNBC Consequences
KatyTurNBC Trump’s base
SandDollar04 IDIOCY has no cure! Lose your job and livelihood for HATE?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Trump supporters always show the world how stupid they are!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
KatyTurNBC This pathological lack of empathy and compassion is a plague in its own right. How do we combat that?
This is staged and you are not helping Americans
Curious that their names haven’t been released. It would be interesting to go through their online histories to see if the story has legs. This could be genuine and these are guys who should be dismissed by the Right, or it could be something “else”.
Individuals- on BOTH sides -desperately trying to push a war, that none of us are going to win.
realDonaldTrump Your people Trump!
Who in their right mind would do this? I can’t even begin to understand what made them think hey this would be great idea. It’s so Disgusting. Even a drunk or drug addicted knows better.
A tragedy.
Sad
These people are despicable.
good
That officer needs to be fired!
See ya. ✌🏼✌🏽✌🏾✌🏿
Corrections Officer should be fired. Why would you have someone doing that job, if they believe that this stunt is O.K? I can only imagine what he does on the job.
The police officer that killed a Floyd had both his knees on Floyd. Floyd bore the full weight of the officer on his neck. Floyd was murdered.
Oh well 🤷♀️
Honestly though isn't kneeling a really stupid symbol of protest consider how Floyd died? That would be like protesting Nazis by waving your right arm in the air. Or protesting factory farms with a BBQ. Bad optics but liberals are pretty stupid to begin with so......
Stupidity leads to suspensions and firings. So why haven't we suspended and fired the GOP the administration and the 45 Their stupidity is above and beyond anything these men have done.
Maybe like millions of Americans they have had it with liberals making GF a hero who was not. It was wrong the way Floyd was murdered. It’s also wrong to give Floyd 3 services when 100 thousand people who died from Covid-19 didn’t get shit! Blacks need to vent their anger at dems
You should display more clearly the Trump's flag on that picture.. Trump's fans are RACIST !
Wtf is wrong with people.
Looks like someone is about to get tea bagged
Thank you! We all need to stand up to this type of behavior! We can not tolerate it any more
lapdogs4Trump Corrections officer needs to be fired, too. He must be a real shit to the black inmates.
tRump supporters? NO WAY! I never would have guessed MAGA (R) are Racist Scumbags! But they claim realDonaldTrump isn't a Racist? 🤔 I hope more Racist gets outed every day & find themselves unemployed & shunned for being Un-American! DictatorTrump RacistInChief
Free speach is dead in this country
Hey NBC 1 Now Do Black on Black 2 Then also do: Why Democrat States Districts with Black Mayors are dysfunctional and has 51-60% non white Police 3 Do Antifa & ISIS thrived under Obama & Eric Holder 4 Do also Chicago Mayor & Minneapolis
Trump supporters for sure 🐷🤮🤣😂
BUH BYE!
People can't have an opinion anymore? Ridiculous!
.Just sickening!
Idiots
This is well deserved. When you’re so privileged that you think you can do anything that you don’t think. Actions have consequences. Einstein said that for every action there’s a reaction.
Hate just revealing itself. The disturbing thing is that this hate is so delusional, it makes them believe that that behavior is fine. If each one of us would always think, “Do unto others as I would have them do unto me.” How do you want to be treated?
They just never learn the blm is already making progress things changing keep doing and saying stupid things bigots please do those that truly stand for freedom and equality can keep winning and fat boy in the white house is next we beating him at the polls keep giving us wins
maybe the gov't should just write a law making it a crime to mock BLM
No one that has lived or living in south or Central Jersey is surprised this happened. These types of ppl be thriving out there. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Scumbags
Unrepentant Whiteys!
Now those are some men with empathy! I bet they voted for trump!?
Okay wait.... the Corrections Officer.... was only SUSPENDED? The one who is in the position to actually carry out this type of murder?
Probably suspended with pay...how in the hell can a corrections officer with this mindset be allowed to work in public service? Especially around black people.
so much for free speech and having a different point of view
They want to keep it going and are playing people to do it! Don't trust them.
White privilege in action from those among us at the low end of the IQ pool. Sad. Stupid.
😁
That is very good news!
Defund
Mocking is never good. During a protest it is irresponsible. Law enforcement must remain professional. It is a privilege to represent your state/country.
On what charges?
CNN their names JamesDemarco JoeDeMarco
Haha haha.... and I can’t stress this enough....hahahaha...get wrecked losers.
Hope that was worth losing your job over. Nazis aren’t the brightest of bulbs. KarmaComesAround
It’s unacceptable for FedEx to have higher standards than the Department of Corrections. That officer should be fired. He’s a perfect example of the systemic racism we’re protesting.
TantumVero So he should
Ugh.
Phil_Lewis_ I wonder why the N.J. corrections officer wasn’t fired?
Makes me happy....
ABOUT TIME THESE RACIST BASTARDS PAID A PRICE.!!
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
The corrections worker should be fired. Anyone who would participate in such a disgusting display speaks to the racist views he holds. They are setting themselves up for lawsuits as any incidents that occur involving race, they are responsible, as they now know his prejudice.
Good.
I see White Men are getting the shitty end of the stick. It's all about hating the White Man. I'm not saying it was right or wrong, what they did, but it's hate towards the white man.
Good
white trash.
Why do trump supporters think there patriots? 🤷🏻♂️
WTAF is wrong with people? How do we move on as a society, as the human race with so many genuinely awful and hate filled people among us?
Being an open racist now have consequences. That's a step in the right direction.
Good!!! Shame on them both.
Let’s Go
Why is there always a Trump banner with these low life, trashy racists?
beyond disgusting... how much hate could you have in your heart to do something like this?
It doesn't pay to watch Fox News
I bet he’s an “all lives matter” guy.
KarenSalitis It looks like both of those guys have extreme cases of TDS Glad they were held accountable by their employer's.
Is anyone surprised to see a Trump/Pence banner hanging in the back of that truck above the American flag? I’m not.
94 black people shot in Chicago over the weekend. Just incase NBC wanted to know
'Very fine people'
People get punished because free expression ,what a fascist country
The ugliness of racism is an assault to our hearts.
constitutionsue The CO should be fired too.
DONT CARE
'YOU BOUT TO LOSE YO JOB'😂😂😂😂😂😂
Imagine..... In Todays communistic America losing your job because of free speech. Disgusting.
gina_goldberg South Jersey Nazis are the worst.
Yup definite problem in police +corrections with those bring professions that attract ..lets just say ..too many....below avg.people
Is it just my eyes or is it really just white men who have no idea what these last 2+ weeks of demonstrations have been about? Is white supremacy so much more pervasive than anyone could have imagined? Thanks donnie for making hate so fashionable.
YES. NoJusticeNoPeace
“Stupid is as stupid does” my name is Forest, Forest Gump and I approve this message
Not fired? How can he be a corrections officer unbiasly with actions like this?
All these racist white-supremacists losing their jobs - is the Psychotic Rage Worth it?🤔
you can see the Trump flag on the pickup truck
It wouldn’t surprise me if trump gives them a job at the Wht House. Or gives them a medal of freedom
Good. Scumbags.
Unbelievable BlackLivesMatter
potus very fine people WhiteSupremacist
Officer should be fired and not just suspended! This is the type of people a correctional facility employs
Racism isn't a Political Point of View or Perspective it's a BAD thing! KILLING IS BAD & JOKING ABOUT IT IS WRONG FightRacism StandUp4HumanRights Stay Strong & Safe, Stay in the Streets until NORMALIZE EQUALITY & EQUITY StopRacism blacklivesmatter loveoverfear protests2020
Tone deaf priviledged white males.....Can’t fix stupid!
That's amazing. But we need such actions to be made before someone gets murdered.
One “suspended”, one “FIRED”.... just saying ....
Assholes
Every Stripe on the flag represents,blood shed,every star represents something taken,EVERYONE IS AN IMMIGRANT,ON STOLEN LAND..... Columbus Day and all Holidays like it must be Cancelled. America today is in so many ways evolved.
He should lose everything he’s worked for. George Floyd lost everything including his life
LMAO
Someone thought this was a good idea ? What possible motivation other than antagonizing, race baiting, attention seeking behavior ? Poetic justice served !
Fire the bad and hire good people looking for a job.
How exactly did citizen sleuths figure out the identity of the guy on the ground, even? Hard enough to make sense of how they could possibly identify the kneeler, but the one being kneeled on? Huh?
If you noticed in all of these mocks we have seen, they never actually do it the same as what happened. Arms cuffed behind back full body weight down on the side of neck additional person compressing chest. It is called 'restraint asphyxia.' And no officer is trained to do it.
Being ignorant racists SHOULD have consequences. 🤷🏽♀️
Being an idiot 🤝 being a racist
JacksonMFJacks1
Yup, time to break out Lebron...
NellSco Good.
'Suspended' Let's just give them what they deserve. Nothing. Not a shred of human decency.
