Nashville stood on Woke, Taxpayers paid the price.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - The attorney for former Nashville firefighter Tracy Turner has announced a victory in his civil rights case against the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County.

Turner, who was demoted following posts made on his personal Facebook page, was awarded nearly $1.8 million by a federal jury on Friday.

His attorney says that the $1,775,513 in damages comes from the retaliation against Turner based on his exercise of free speech.

Former Nashville fireman awarded nearly $1.8 million in civil rights case following demotion from social media posts

Mr. Turner posted some things in the book of Faces that apparently straightened the pubic hairs of some delicate creatures in government, they got sued and they go offered a settlement. The city council overwhelmingly rejected it.

In March 2024, the Metro Council voted to refuse a proposed settlement with Turner for what he posted on social media in 2020.

The Council voted 31-0 with three abstentions to reject the settlement to pay him $105,000 after he filed a lawsuit against the city after he was demoted for posting what the city said were a series of racially inflammatory posts on his Facebook page.

Ouch, that has to hurt. But when you have a City Council that wants to be more San Francisco than the City by the Bay, this things will happen.

I found the lawsuit online if you care to read it. It does stink of Woke politics to appease general dumbasses and to wave the banner of “WE BE WOKEST!”
