The city of Atlanta agreed to a settlement that will pay former Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran $1.2 million after he sued the city, alleging that he was fired over a free speech issue.
Cochran wrote a book about his Christian faith in 2013 and gave it to around a dozen subordinates that he said either requested the copies or shared his beliefs, reported Fox 5. In the book, Cochran discussed his views on sexuality, based on his faith.
