Calling Black people chimps, n-words and justifying slavery on camera has left one Houston Police Department officer jobless! The agency shared on Friday (April 24) that it fired Ashley Gonzalez following her racist remarks. Gonzalez had initially filmed and posted her rant on Instagram’s ‘Close Friends,’ but it went viral after someone apparently leaked it. She has yet to address the public about her offensive comments.

Houston Officer Fired Over Viral Racist Rant (UPDATE)
HPD announced the update regarding Officer Ashley Gonzalez on its social platforms, including X. They named her and shunned her actions, revealing she was fired following an internal investigation.
“The Houston Police Department (HPD) has terminated the employment of Ashley Gonzalez. As of today, she is no longer an employee of the department. HPD holds every officer to the highest standards of integrity and conduct, and will not waver in upholding these expectations.”
Additionally, HPD’s statement clarified that Ashley had been relieved of her duties earlier this week after the agency first learned about the viral video. Houston Public Media reported on Wednesday that Gonzalez was relieved with pay. HPD today confirmed a speedy investigation took place as required by state civil laws. Police Chief Noe Diaz Jr. strongly condemned Ashley Gonzalez’s actions.
“The behavior exhibited by Ashley Gonzalez was abhorrent, disgusting, and entirely unacceptable,” the chief said. “It is deeply disturbing and has no place in law enforcement or in our community.”
