It appears that it’s NOT just some police officers who are plotting for a civil war…
The US Military has Boogaloo (code for civil war) problem too
Stoked by the rage of the Dear-Draft-Dodger-Leader himself!

Looking forward to their local police union decrying these firings as completely meritless, how this action is a violation of 1st, 2nd, and 18th Amendments, and explaining that these men’s conversations were taken completely out of context and blahblah BLM are terrorists…

And the officers protested “we are not racist”…sure. Apparently that department conducts random reviews of body cam and other records to check out the performance of their officers and that’s how this was found. Good policy. The Chief that canned them is Black ( I believe ) and on day 1 of the job.

But I think firmer language is needed to head up this bit. These guys were yakking about “wiping out” and “slaughtering” Black people and doing so under the cover of authority and with the impunity that gives them.

That one was easy. Now comes the hard part of re-creating the rest of the force.

I think an FBI investigation is warranted. They sound like domestic terrorists to me.

When I read parts of this horrifying conversation this morning, I was sick to my stomach. What makes people so filled with hate that they want to kill someone just because of his or her skin color? It’s a terrible sickness. Is there a cure?

It’s not okay. It’s not right. Donald Trump is a racist monster feeding these deplorable, sick human beings.

As the conversation unfolds, Piner can be heard telling Moore that he feels a civil war is coming and that he is ready, according to AP. Piner tells Gilmore he intended to buy a new assault rifle, and go out to slaughter Black people. “I can’t wait. God, I can’t wait,” Piner said.

Not racist. No, not racist at all.

I’m horrifically amazed at the number of people at work who have shown their true colors since George Floyd was killed. It’s like they feel emboldened.

In the last 2 months Police Unions have been told Fuck You by Chiefs all over the country. They still have a lot of power but their name is becoming synonymous with knowingly defending and maintaining bad cops. The videos of bad cops that have been circulated for the last few years don’t just depict the last few years. They tell the truth about the past as well. They tell us about the DA’s and Judges that let cops walk. They tell us all about Police Unions and the code of blue that guides them. Lots of dead folks received no justice prior to the age of portable video. Even though everyone knew they were murdered.

The good news is they’re identified. I’d like to think this ends their careers in “law enforcement”.
I know. I know.

Oh, it was far more than making Racist Remarks; how about tangible threats of murdering as many Black people as they could?
It is well-past-time for police officers to be licensed by states just like attorneys and physicians.

They hold-literally on-their-hips, the power of life & death. Upholding and violating human rights…if they violate they should be barred from “practicing” law enforcement. This asses probably had police departments calling them with job offers as soon as they heard these jerks had been “let go”.

" the officers protested that they were not racist, they contended that their comments reflected the stress felt by law enforcement amid demonstrations following the death of George Floyd who was killed by Minneapolis police last month."

School teachers, especially middle and high school teachers are under stress everyday but you don’t read online or hear caught on mic racist statements that they want to slaughter their students.
