A sheriff's deputy in Jackson County, Mississippi, was fired last week after he was allegedly recorded saying that he gets "paid to beat up n-----s," the Clarion-Ledger newspaper reported Friday.
During a heated dispute that took place using voice chat over the multiplayer gaming platform XBox Live, the former deputy, Michael Slater, allegedly announced his address and told an opponent: "You about to come to a f-----g paid police officer's house. I get paid to beat up n----rs like you."
