MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Memphis Police officer has resigned after an investigation into a Snapchat post.

Michael Malone and James Fort were both relieved of duty in July in connection with the Snapchat.

The picture showed a gun aimed at an emoji of an African-American child.

Malone received a 20-day suspension without pay, cultural diversity training and a temporary assignment to the COP Unit for violating a personal conduct rule, as well as a 10-day unpaid suspension for violating a social media rule, according to MPD.

He resigned from the force Aug. 15, police said.

Fort received the same consequences for the personal conduct violation as Malone did. However, he received a seven-day suspension without pay for the social media violation as well as a three-day suspension for a violation of a reporting improper conduct rule, police said.
