NY correction officer suspended for 'vile' post on Buffalo mass shooting

New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision told News 4 it is seeking the termination of Gregory C. Foster II, who has just under 25 years of experience with the department.

“The comments made by this correction officer are despicable, stand in violation of multiple Department rules and will not be tolerated. This vile posting does not represent the morals and values of the thousands of staff members in the Department,” it said in a statement.

“The individual responsible has been suspended without pay and DOCCS will be seeking termination. The Department has engaged the Civil Rights Task Force, which we are members of, for potential criminal prosecution. The Department has also launched an internal investigation to identify and discipline any staff who may have engaged with the posting.”

"The image from Foster's Facebook page ... features an exterior picture of a Tops store and text making a crass reference to the aftermath of the shooting. Above the post, the caption reads 'Too soon? This should weed out some FB friends,' followed by a laughing emoji."

Foster's post was captioned, "Clean up on aisle 3, no wait 4, also on 7, 9, 12, and 13."

...that people who make careers out of keeping people in cages seem to have a high incidence of anti-social behavior.

Can't wrap my head around why that might be.
