Mayor Cherepko posted this about the picture on Facebook...

"This post displays a degree of conduct and character that is far different from what I would expect from an officer in this city," "It is absolutely unacceptable. Without hesitation, my office and the police chief's office immediately concluded that this officer's action will not be tolerated in the City of McKeesport. She had been relieved of her duties, and her employment has been terminated."

Adamson, for her part, told the website she’s “not a racist” and apologized to anyone she offended.

Adamson said posting the image was a "stupid mistake" regarding of her intentions.

"I'm sorry for who I did offend," she continued. "It was not my intention. I can't express how sorry I am for how I made you feel emotionally, physically. Again, it wasn't my intention."
