3 cops fired for ridiculing Obama. Was anyone fired for calling Bush a chimp?

[ShootSpeeders]

What a great bunch to come out in defence of.
Good luck.

And turning this around to blame Obama?
Inspired!

Obozo has admitted he supports affirmative action and has received AA. That makes him a racist and if people want to make racist comments about him he needs to live with it. THINK

 

[Mr. H.]

In practically every job where the employee must deal with the public doing things that are provocatively racist and bringing shame on the organization is grounds for dismissal.

Since when isn't "White" a race?

"3 cops fired for ridiculing Obama. Was anyone fired for calling Bush a chimp?"

In the event you weren't aware of this, Bush isn't African-American, the president is, consequently your premise fails as a false comparison fallacy.

Moreover, the officers were fired for "ridiculing Obama," their conduct was blatantly racist and hostile:

“Alex Alvarez, 22, who produced a video showing President Obama with goldchains and gold teeth and another person dressed similar to the supremacist Ku Klux Klan (KKK) clothing, resigned last month.”

The officers were terminated as a consequence of their conduct, not their speech.

Their Obama insults were only a small part of their indiscretions.
This has only been picked out by partisans to attack Obama yet again.

There's nothing that they can't turn into an attack on Obama.

 

[AmericanFirst]

Because they're cops. They have to be above reproach.

Tell that to obuthole and his clowns.

The police officers were fired for conduct not becoming and prejudicial to the good order of the police department.

What part of "private conversation" can't you understand?

So the BLACK police chief says. People shouldn't be fired for jokes among friends.

 

[Plasmaball]

That's all right. I hope they sue the city dry. then the police chief can explain it was all over making funnies of his Dear Leader and stomping on their Freedoms of speech. and hopefully he loses his job on top of that

derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[OKTexas]

The question I have wasn't answered in the article, did they use department issued phones? If not I see a major privacy issue here. There were no criminal charges so what would be the basis to search their phones or phone records? If they did use department issued phones all I can say is the boys fucked up.

No such thing as "private conversation" defense.

Sure should if it impinges upon professional standards. Not using company equipment is immaterial.

No one should lose their job for ridiculing the president. Obozo is a thin-skinned pussy. Millions of people called George Bush a chimp and it was considered totally acceptable.

Three policemen fired in Florida making fun of president three policemen dismiss in Florida fun of Obama What is USA

march 22 2015
Three policemen were fired on Friday in Florida for making “racist” comments, some of them based on a video produced by an agent who resigned last month and the making fun of President Barack Obama, officials said.

Fort Lauderdale police said in a news conference that the official James Wells, 29, Jason Holding, 31, and Christopher Sousa, 25, were dismissed for “racist” comments and “offensive” in telephone communications.

Meanwhile, the police Alex Alvarez, 22, who produced a video showing President Obama with gold chains and gold teeth and another person dressed similar to the supremacist Ku Klux Klan (KKK) clothing, resigned last month .

The four officers were subject to a five-month investigation by the police, during which they argued that the video was a “joke”.

“Among the four official racist text messages were exchanged,” said Police Chief Fort Lauderdale, Frank Adderley, who said that Alvarez would be fired for the same reason.

Wise move. While it's free speech, it also puts the department as risk to keep them on. If it had come to light, the very next minority suspect arrest could claim bias and racism, the video would resurface and the department could find itself on the unpleasant end of a massive lawsuit for keeping "known racist" cops on staff.

Only racism in police forces is the affirmative action that gives black men the job over more qualified whites. Hell - most black cops can't even read.

You're a LIAR.

No, he's being factual. Many police depts (and fire depts) across the nation have had to lower test standards so blacks can pass tests due to their limited intellect/low IQ's.

Isn't that there to some what correct the centuries of racism that they received... I know you wish for the good old days when you breed to good slaves you can get another...

 

[CowboyTed]

more white rage?

poor baby. maybe if you actually tried to better yourself you wouldn't be so bitter.

Rage is right. If the police force had a policy of hiring unqualified whites over qualified blacks, you would be fuming.

End affirmative action. That's the best way to end racism. THINK

No affirmative action in Ferguson and look how that ended up. Affirmative action improves police‐community relations.

Nice try but are you telling us affirmative action is why these guys are racist pigs.

They should be if they're using police email or phones to pass the jokes around. Personal emails on company servers are not "private". Anything you do using company servers or equipment is not private or personal.

Lie, prove it...

That is all you got...

Should be fired for just being too dumb to be cops.

Nail on the head right there.

These are the same kind of stupid fucking cops that shoot a black kid for having a toy gun.

Or shoot big, scary unarmed black men 10 times to make sure he's dead.

If you want to be a racist, don't become a cop. Police forces do not need stupid, racist cops. Their (police forces) jobs are hard enough without assholes like these cops.
