Well, isn't this just special. When did Ferguson OFFICIALS release the emails? I hope the MSM doesn't run this story over a long weekend, a holiday weekend, and on a huge news day. I'd like the world to take notice. Click on the link. Lovely picture of REAGAN 'feeding the infant Obama'. I guess since the rest of the RW 'elite' passed them around, why not America's police departments. After all it is all in good fun, no racism at all. (No sexism either, I'm sure)... Ferguson officials' racist emails released Emails between officers and city official – including one joking about stoning Muslim women and image used to mock Michelle Obama – now made public Read the documents released by the City of Ferguson Ferguson racist emails The emails were released to the Guardian and other media outlets in response to public records requests filed in the wake of the DoJ’s damning report. Jon Swaine and Oliver Laughland in New York Friday 3 April 2015 14.18 EDT Last modified on Friday 3 April 2015 14.51 EDT Senior police officers and a city official in Ferguson, Missouri, exchanged emails that likened ethnic minority welfare recipients to dogs and joked about stoning Muslim women, it emerged on Friday. The previously undisclosed messages were released along with full copies of emails referenced in a report by the US Department of Justice that led to the dismissal of a series of senior city officials last month. One of those emails depicted Barack Obama as a chimpanzee, another doubted his ability as a black man to hold a job for four years, while a third labelled a photograph of a black tribal gathering “Michelle Obama’s high school reunion”. The emails were released to the Guardian and other media outlets in response to public records requests filed following the publication of the Justice Department’s damning report. They were written or forwarded by court clerk Mary Ann Twitty, police captain Rick Henke and police sergeant William Mudd. One email sent from Mudd to Twitty joked that a man had initially been declined state welfare payments for his pet dogs but was successful after explaining they were “mixed in color, unemployed, lazy, can’t speak English and have no frigging clue who their Daddies are”. Included among a series of “one-liners” forwarded by Twitty to Mudd and Henke was a joke about a man who discovered his wife had an affair. “But, by turning to religion, I was soon able to come to terms with the whole thing,” it said. “I converted to Islam, and we’re stoning her in the morning!” The three former officials could not be reached for comment. Twitty and Mudd did not respond to messages from the Guardian requesting comment after their dismissals last month. http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/apr/03/ferguson-officials-racist-emails-obama
Pages and pages of sexist racist crap. Perhaps these poor good ol boys just aren't smart enough to understand any OTHER humor and are stuck on degrading women and colored people. Of course then you would think they would be too stupid to hire as law enforcement officers. Or perhaps this is what qualifies them... http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...erguson-releases-racist-emails-read-documents
Which one of those ferguson officials shot Brown? And the picture of Mooch's high school reunion - is someone implying that's she's superior to the people in the picture and that's why it doesn't apply? I mean, everyone is equal, right? Otherwise it's not racist.
And that has what to do with fostering a 'climate' of intimidation and disregard and dare I say, HOSTILITY, for the citizenry?? Are you saying ONLY the COPS that shot kids in Ferguson should be looked at?? Really? Scotty did it, don't look at me.
LOL! All the hoopla and a federal investigation and all they can come up with is a few emails? Holder looks like a fool once again.
You do realize things that are said on this board would look equally as bad if one of us happened go be under investigation. Now does that mean we're fostering a climate of intimidation or just blowing off steam? By the way, Sharpton and Jackson have said worse things, Obama said I should be in the back of the bus and Biden told his followers I want to put them in chains. I no longer care what happens in Ferguson. The place should be razed and turned into a corn field.
I sure hope not. I've seen how their citizens act and I definitely don't want them to relocate near me.
Yeah, too bad the police department didn't use private email...like Hillary. They could have refused to turn it over and just deleted what they wanted.
+10 Now that's funny right there. I don't care who you are. - - - Updated - - - Exceptionally well said!
Jeez, wonder how many tens of millions of taxpayer dollars were spent to ferret out a handful of objectionable, poor taste EMAILS that don't even amount to any criminal behavior? We can't even GET federal government business Emails due to persistent "data loss" and erasure, but we can sure hoot and holler over this kind of thing. LW logic: Off color joke Emails exchanged by yahoo small town cops >> urgent national issue Missing EVIDENCE Emails involving high state matters >> made up scandal. Good that the LW's heart is in the right place, maybe one day they will grow a MIND.
Wow, there is no way any sane human can't see that those in charge are doing everything possible to divide this country . this administration is deliberately gassing every flame it can. Yet so many can't see it.. Look at the op. Perfect example of A real gasser.
So what? These messages were never meant to be seen by the public. Everyone says things that would (*)(*)(*)(*) others off when they think they are in private. Heaven forbid you ever hear what military personnel say about pretty much every race, religion, and creed.
