The text messages are reported to contain offensive comments about gay men, Filipinos, and Hispanics. Several of the officers involved in the scandal have worked in minority neighborhoods. The term “white power” is alleged to have been used multiple times.

One text reportedly reads: “All ******* must fucking hang.” Another said: “Cross burning lowers blood pressure! I did the test myself!,” according to The Guardian.

One of the officers under investigation, Michael Robinson, a 23-year veteran, has resigned, while two of his colleagues have been reassigned to non-public-contact positions. However, the investigation might still result in the termination of their employment.

The texts came to light while authorities were carrying out an investigation on former police sergeant Ian Furminger, who was found guilty of corruption and sent to prison for three years. (AKA Good Cop)

Community and minority leaders are now worried the officers might have acted with prejudice when dealing with defendants, especially ones from black and minority backgrounds.

Why would they treat people differently just because they (as many on the board puts it) called names?

And their next texts:

"Man, I can't believe how many people wanted onion rings today!"

"Yeah, over here we ran out of Happy Meal toys again".

"White Pride, rock on!"
 
Good thing they were suspended, eh?
You have an anti-white racism thing going today (so, what else if new?). You are the very thing that you protest against.

Yes, the logic is great! I report on racism and that makes me racism!

The racialist have been using that line of reasoning for some years, and it is as big a failure now as it was then. But no one ever thought racialist to be very smart at all.
