Fort Lauderdale Police Chief Larry Scirotto was ousted for trying to incorporate diversity in the workplace.
Scirotto was in office for less than a year and was widely criticized for his approach to hiring and promotion.
Fort Lauderdale city officials believed Scirotto was unfairly focused exclusively on minority candidates-- thus leading to his removal from office.
The former Fort Lauderdale police chief spoke with Roland Martin during Tuesday's edition of #RolandMartinUnfiltered about his firing and attempt to diversify the Fort Lauderdale police force.

Funny how 9 of the 15 promotions still went to white men yet that still isn't enough for them. So they fired him. Wake up America. Promotion is not based upon seniority. But the man has a master's degree. Bet the other officer did not. I had a guy who I though was my friend get upset when I got promoted before him. I had 6 years more experience, higher productivity, a degree in applied Mathematics and Economics. He was a high school drop out, I had to help him with his numbers was always late. But he dated the big boss's daughter and was better looking. He quit.

He's been the Chief for less than 2 years, so the real question is the vet who was on the force for 20 years; why didn't the previous Chief or Chiefs promote him? The vet for 20 years just looking to point the finger to someone else is to why he can't get promoted when he should be looking at himself. ijs
