(Orlando Sentinel) An Orange County deputy sheriff was suspended for almost a month after he posted an anti-Muslim rant on Facebook, in one of several posts that prompted a Muslim civil rights group to ask the Sheriff’s Office to investigate.
Master Deputy Michael Johnson was suspended without pay for 150 hours after the Sheriff’s Office found he showed “unbecoming conduct” as well as “bias and disrespect” toward Muslims, according [to] a report from the internal investigation recently obtained by the Orlando Sentinel in a records request.
The February 2020 post on Johnson’s personal Facebook page said that “Muslims are taking over America,” calling them the “most intolerant people when it comes to other religions.”
