A firefighter who wrote rap lyrics calling police "pigs" and threatening to turn them into "bacon bits" will be losing his job, fire officials said Monday.
Philadelphia Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers reported that the investigation into musical lyrics produced by firefighter Rodney Jean-Jacques had concluded.
As a result of the investigation, Ayers has suspended Jean-Jacques with intent to dismiss effective Monday afternoon.
"Commissioner Ayers deeply regrets that anyone was offended by the lyrics, especially our important (first) responder partners, members of the Philadelphia Police Department," said a fire department press release.
The police union's president initially asked for a written apology, but when none came, the union demanded Jean-Jacques's firing.
Officials had previously stated that Jean-Jacques was placed on administrative leave and removed from his duties at Engine Company Nine in the Mount Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia.
