Cop from hell fired after mocking female co-workers
By LAUREN ACTON-TAYLOR
A Texas cop has been fired after he reportedly told his co-workers they were 'diversity hires' and mocked an officer for having undergone a C-section birth.
Officer Emilio De La Rosa was given an indefinite suspension on June 23 after making crass comments to his colleagues and undermining his superior officer during a single shift.
In February, De La Rosa was reportedly overheard saying, 'two C-sections but never gave birth'.
A female officer said the comment was 'very personal' because De La Rosa insinuated that 'birth only counts when it is a natural delivery,' records obtained by KSAT stated.
During the same shift, another female co-worker, who had got on her knees to get a laptop charger, was reportedly told by De La Rosa that she no longer needed to get on her knees because she had already been selected for the DWI unit, the outlet reported.
The female officer then reported the remark to internal affairs as sexual harassment, records stated.
'Considering I had only one month on the DWI unit, I took that as sexually harassing comment about my selection to the unit,' the officer said, records stated.
'I felt very embarrassed and ashamed to be around other probationary officers and to have been in a disadvantaged position when he made the comment.'

De La Rosa was then heard saying, on the same shift, that 'too many' women and Black officers were going to be assigned to the DWI unit as 'diversity hires'.
The comment was reported by a second female officer to internal affairs.
The officer was also questioned by a sergeant about an arrest made earlier in the shift, and De La Rosa later told a fellow officer that the sergeant didn't know what he was talking about, the outlet reported.
His comment was construed to 'undermine the knowledge of his supervisor' and showed De La Rosa 'failed to exhibit respect for his supervisory officer', records stated.
'Officer De La Rosa's actions render his continuance in office detrimental to effective law enforcement and the needs of the San Antonio Police Department,' the City of San Antonio Human Resources Department wrote.
'The law and sound community expectations recognize that there is good cause for depriving Officer De La Rosa of his position.'
De La Rosa reportedly worked with the San Antonio Police Department since 2016, according to KSAT.
