Oakland Police Issue P.C. Apology for Cinco De Mayo Drunk Driving Warning
by LEE STRANAHAN4 May 2016539
In another example of political correctness run amuck, the Oakland Police Department was forced to issue an apology over a press release urging people not to drive drunk on Cinco de Mayo.
The message, reprinted below, contains nothing remotely offensive, however the mere mention that many people drink on Cinco de Mayo was apparently enough for people to lodge complaints and force the Oakland P.D. to issue the following mea culpa:
"The Oakland Police Department would like to apologize for the recent press release addressing traffic safety enforcement during the Cinco de Mayo holiday. We acknowledge that the language in the message sent was completely insensitive to the cultural holiday. We have worked extensively to build trust with all our communities and value the amazing cultures that make up the heart of our City. We are taking appropriate steps to insure that this does not happen again. Our intentions were to raise awareness about drunk driving and notify the community of traffic safety during the important holiday. As for every holiday and celebration, we want to remind everyone to celebrate responsibly and safely."
