The Houston cop at the center of a viral racist rant video is officially off the force ... because the department says her behavior was beyond the pale.

The Houston Police Department announced Friday it has terminated Officer Ashley Gonzalez ... saying in a statement she is "no longer an employee of the department" following an internal investigation into the shocking viral clip.

According to HPD, Gonzalez was immediately relieved of duty once the department became aware of the video ... and officials say they moved "as fast as legally possible" under state civil service laws to complete the investigation.

Police Chief J. Noe Diaz, Jr. didn’t mince words either ... calling Gonzalez's conduct "abhorrent, disgusting, and entirely unacceptable."

New York State Troopers and an NYPD officer jumped into action upon seeing a burning car on the side of a roadway ... pulling several people to safety in a shocking video.

The NYPD's official X account shared the clip Tuesday morning ... explaining the incident took place back on March 22 on the Grand Central Parkway -- a major throughfare running through Queens.

The video -- cut together from body cam footage -- begins when an officer arrives on the scene ... relaying the situation through a dispatch radio before jumping out of his car. His partner hands him a fire extinguisher and the two rush toward the burning vehicle.

Logan Paul might want to think twice before throwing around that $1 million boxing challenge … because Buffalo Bills star Dion Dawkins says he’s absolutely ready to cash the check and throw hands!

TMZ Sports caught up with the Pro Bowl left tackle, and Dawkins made it clear he’s not just talking trash -- he’s serious about stepping in the ring with the YouTuber-turned-WWE SuperStar.

“I mean, I think when it comes down to it, who's not serious about a million dollars or plus?” Dawkins told us. “If you can fight and you're confident in yourself, everybody should be barking at it or talking about it. Why not?”

Dawkins said he actually has boxing experience … explaining he originally picked it up after hearing that fellow All-Pro lineman Trent Williams trains in the sport.
