Cop said he'd drown his kid, if she ever dates Black men. And now? He's the new Police Chief!

    *if* he really said that, he should not be the police chief

    if a person only wants to date in their own race, I am fine with that, but saying you will kill your own child of they choose to date another race is scary and not police chief material

    People shouldn't be fired for poorly thought-out Facebook posts.

    Also, just because he wouldn't be happy if his daughter dated a Black guy doesn't mean he'd treat a random Black guy any worse or unfairly.

    You don't believe a racist police chief can treat Black people fairly?
    It's his job to treat people fairly, and not treat Black people any different from anyone else in his job. It's not his job not to be racist is his off work hours.

    By the way, racist Black guys can be police chiefs too. As long as they don't let it get in the way of the job they're supposed to do.

    Misogynistic men can be bosses at companies, etc.

    Judge a man by his actual conduct in the workplace, not his Facebook posts.

    Actually he didn't say that. He shared a meme that said that. Not quite the same thing. Though I will admit that it was a racist thing to say, and perhaps his position should be reconsidered in light of his comments.

    While i agree i would not want a racist police chief. This is how things work

    The people elect the mayor, or city council.
    The mayor or city council appoints a police chief.
    If a racist police chief gets appointed you vote out the mayor. If a city refuses to get rid of said mayor then that's up to them and it's not the business of anyone else unless that police chief uses his racism to violate someone's rights.

    what that guy "shared" was just a rasict meme. I he forgot who he was. It doesn't confirm or deny he's a racist, he could have just found if funny.

    But yeah I think it was very unprofessional to post it and clearly very stupid considering the police need to strengthen relations with the community and not alienate them.


    That said... It's not just white professionals posting stupidity on social media. Check out this...

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-us-canada-45052534

    A couple of many examples of her racist behaviour on social media.


    "Oh man it's kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men."

    "Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins," she said in December 2014.


    I'm sure blacks and other races have been guilty of this stupidity roo.

    Honor Thy Father: A Muslim man in Phoenix "honor killed" his Americanized daughter
    by Paul Rubin

    March 31, 2010

    Hell, just saying "he'd drown his kid" is nothing compared to this daughter whom became "Too Americanized". Dating outside her race, tight jeans, makeup and music were enough for this man to kill his own daughter by running her over with the family car.

    This sort of thing makes me glad I live in a state where the Chief Law Enforcement Official of my jurisdiction is directly elected by We The People.

    this is more then unhappy, he said he would kill his own daughter if she dated a black man.... i person with that type of mental process has no place in the police force

    I don't want racist black guys to be cops either, why would we want either to be cops?

    So their racism is at least consistent with that of the general public. ;)

    So every meme you've seen and shared is your own words/beliefs?

    My own beliefs, yes. I don't post racist memes, because I'm not racist. The memes aren't my own words, but are my beliefs. I don't post anything I don't agree with, unless I clearly criticize what I'm posting.

    I have never threatened to kill my children over anything - maybe it's normal to you, not to me - definitely not Cop material

    The new police chief is not necessarily racist. He only shared what he found on Facebook, which is too lenient on racist posts. Facebook is overrun by online trolls.

    If he truly said that, and it can be proven, then he should be removed from office.

    I think you're looking to much into it.

    You actually think he will kill his daughter if she dated a black man?

    He does not have the moral or legal right to say that.

    it's in the op's article

    "Cop Who Said He’d Drown His Daughter If She Dated a “Negro” Promoted to Chief of Police"

    I suppose he could of meant I would drown her, then bring her back to life with cpr... but sounded like would kill her to me

    it's just not behavior of what we expect from a police officer

    after that post, any interaction with a black man, a jury would have to wonder if racism was involved

    Clearly you've not bothered to read the actual article your trying to discuss.

    May I suggest you click the link and read it, then you will see, he never actually said/typed it.


    He simply passed on an image containing those words. Totally inappropriate to be sharing images like that.... But it's not his words.
