Milwaukee — The city’s all-white Police and Fire Commission decided Wednesday to suspend Fire Chief Jay Behling 90 days without pay for using the N-word five times in front of employees of the all-white Fire Department.
The unanimous vote came shortly before 1 a.m., after 90 minutes of closed-door deliberations.
The deliberations followed four hours of witness testimony and comments by attorneys that began at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
