No public contact, except for that paycheck…

Over the past few decades, white supremacist groups have concentrated on infiltrating both the police department and the military. I’m not sure why people aren’t talking about this aspect.

This can’t be true. The Supremes said that we didn’t have a problem anymore.

Did Suhr express any concern of racist BEHAVIOR by these Cops. Not the texts…or talk…but behavior…like false arrests, unnecessary brutality, unwarranted tickets, trumped up charges…that kind of stuff? It’s hard to believe there aren’t a bunch of Black folks with undeserved criminal records because of these POS Cops.

Haul away those men in blue

The officers have issued a statement saying that if anyone was somehow offended by their friendly conversation, they certainly apologize. Also their statements were taken out of context and as everyone who knows them knows, they are definitely not racist. In fact, they come into contact with black people every day!

So don’t worry–it’s all good.

Oh come on! Megyn Kelly told us that this kind of stuff happens all over America. Why single these poor fellows out?

Suhr’s reaction is a nice contrast to the usual Police Chief response to such things. You people can run your usual snark all you want, but at least let it filter into your brains that those at the top are (for once) taking this seriously.

None of this stuff would have seen the light of day were it not for Eric Holder and the president focusing public attention on official racism that singles out black American citizens for state sanctioned harassment and worse all the time.

Yeah, but he said in full "Their an abomination." Seriously, I’m disappointed that my hometown, the City of Saint Francis of Assisi who loved all living things has produced these cretins. On behalf of the rest of us, apologies.

Another day, another racist cop incident in America.

But there’s no problem with racism, right America? Isn’t this just a result of all the race baiting by Al Sharpton and Holder who are the “true racists”?

Won’t anybody think about the poor, put upon racists who can’t express their hate anymore?
