Alleged? Literally have a recording.
We have to weed out these racist individuals. Not hard to do with them coming out saying racist things while joking with your buddies. Going too far with the racist talk, and thinking everyone will be OK with what you said.
oklahoma couldnt hide this one
They should all resign.
This would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions all of my BRUTHAS/SISTAS in the melanin community that have dedicated their lives to benefit our society. Their peaceful NON-VIOLENT, generous nature and articulate speaking skills make them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their child-rearing practices and skills mixed with their unparalleled work ethic are second to none. Their rational and logical thought toward circumstances coupled with their innate capability to de-escalate situations to be envied and coveted. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves our community as an example to all.
Judging by how Chicago is doing. Some lynching is in order. But you wokes love criminals and their feewings
Racism swells by the day. The good news is that many racists are stupid about today's technology so their comments are often recorded. The commissioner didn't realize he was living in a different time from the older racists that taught him
Mtg will go on fox tomarrow and cry about this filth being the real victim.
Alleged??? They were on tape there's nothing Alleged about it.
On God… The white boys in the U.S. Army shouldn't get to speak until you get the 120th Engineering Battalion HSC Oklahoma National Guard to tell the Department of Veteran Affairs the truth so I receive 100% service connection for my service and another 100% because the white boys were cowards in Oklahoma National Guard and was unfit or unwilling to serve… That's why I got the medal with the M DEVICE… that's what that medal means Oklahoma!!! You racist cowards Oklahoma… I got the "All-white-boys-was-p$$y-in-oklahoma" medal on my DD form 214

What about prosecuting them for conspiracy to commit murder?
They took off the kkk hood and put on a badge. If you can not stand the people you are supposed to be serving, then why be in public service?
LOL @ "alleged"
Racist comments?! Hahaha. Saying black people are always comitting crimes isn't racist. It's fact.
red states and counties are out of control!
You can't control what people think and say, even if you don't agree. No one has control over another's thoughts. You can't make someone like you. Either they do or don't but its their choice. Racism will never end. Simply a fact. There's more division and animosity between the races than ever before.
😂😂😂😂😂America you have become a comedic tragedy
It's not the reporter's who should have left town, it's the official's.
Noted
It was just a joke
The need for a national registry to identify and ban corrupt members of law enforcement from attaining employment as officers of the law elsewhere is imperative to ensure public safety and trust in law enforcement. Corrupt police officers can pose a significant threat to the community, perpetuate injustices, and erode trust in the justice system. Unfortunately, current hiring practices often fail to identify officers who have been fired or resigned due to misconduct, allowing them to continue working in law enforcement in another jurisdiction. This creates a dangerous situation where bad actors are able to continue engaging in unethical behavior, putting the public at risk.
A national registry would allow for the tracking and identification of law enforcement officers who have been dismissed or resigned due to misconduct. This registry could be used by law enforcement agencies to vet potential candidates and prevent the hiring of individuals who have a history of misconduct. Additionally, a registry could serve as a tool to investigate officers suspected of misconduct and to hold them accountable for their actions.
The creation of a national registry is a crucial step in ensuring the integrity and professionalism of law enforcement agencies across the country. It is essential that the public has confidence in the police officers who serve and protect their communities. A national registry will help to restore trust and accountability in law enforcement, and ultimately make our communities safer for everyone.
What a year it's turning out to be. Our Heavenly Father is doing a good thing.
Need to hold Republicans accountable. They love to claim its not about race. And here they are proving us right lol
