| Soundwave said: Also what would be the reaction if a black motorist made a joke about killing white cops upon greeting a police officer? Har har, I doubt it would be so lenient and "oh hahaha, sarcasm". Could probably end up getting some people killed in that situation as the cop would freak out. This cop shouldn't be put on "leave". Seems like every cop just gets put on leave ... even when they freaking shoot someone to death in a non-violent situation. How about he just gets fired, like a normal person would at any job for misconduct? |
I wanted to browse through the comments first to see if anyone would point this out before I would.
People, how many of you work somewhere that would allow you to make such a comment to a customer and get away scot-free if your employer found out?
Remember when Ryan (Spurgeon) made a thread about a year or so ago saying that he was fired from Wal-Mart for not reporting on his coworker who made a pro Nazi or pro Hitler display (something along those lines, I can't remember exactly, but it was inappropriate)? He ultimately got to keep his job, thankfully, but the company made it clear that this sort of joke wouldn't be tolerated.
Why should our police officers get this sort of exemption? Blah blah blah out there risking their lives blah blah blah, do you think that means shit to a demographic that is increasingly experiencing a disconnect with them with all of the high- and low-profile incidents over the past few years, on top of a guy who thinks it's funny to make light of it?
