BREAKING: Racist Anti Mexican Fire Fighter Placed on Paid Administrative Leave
Hours after a video was sent to 916 Times and broadcast on 209 Times and other social media pages, of a firefighter making racist comments belittling Mexicans as “dumb” and low wage landscapers, the unidentified man has been placed on paid administrative leave pending an official investigation.
Within hours of posting his tirade towards a motorist who is at even Mexican, but Cambodian, the man who was wearing a fire department t-shirt was identified as working for the Alameda County Fire Department. The racist tirade occurred after he allegedly caused an accident on freeway 99 in Lodi because he was upset the victim was driving “60 mph in the fast lane.”
Sources have identified the man as Benjamin Guild. We have confirmed in fact there is a Benjamin Guild who works for Alameda County FD and was paid $342,000 last year in salary and benefits.
Today at a press conference, Alameda County FD Chief William McDonalds announced he was placed on paid administrative leave, but refused to confirm his identity while doing his best to get every African American firefighter in his department he could to stand by him and portray Alameda County FD as being diverse.
Our research shows there is a Benjamin Guild of the same age, 46, who lives in Rocklin, which may explain why a Livermore/Dublin firefighter was driving near Lodi on the 99. The department confirmed he was off duty at the time the incident occurred on Friday August 23rd.
