(Allegheny County, PA) Allegheny County officials confirmed on Thursday that Allegheny County Jail Corrections Officer Brian Davis has been fired because he used racial slurs in a viral video that he made. Davis held a baseball bat in this video that had barbed wire wrapped around it that said “the racist word that starts with n, beater” written on it. Davis worked in intake for five years at the Allegheny County Jail and got suspended from that position in July of 2025 for this video that was posted on social media.
