Police Video Continues To Confirm What Everybody Already Knows:
I think the cop was trying to make a sarcastic joke, but that was dumb thing to say. Really stupid. In this case, I would understand if this bothered/offended African Americans. At best, this is very insensitive to what is going on in the country right now and with all the problems cops are having with the African American community.
I’m leaning towards this, as well. That said, it’s a horrible joke on a lot of levels. His delivery was awful, if it weren’t for him saying “right?”, I’d have taken him 100% seriously. Also not really the type of situation you should crack a joke in, at least not a joke like that. Not trying to defend him or say that he didn’t do anything wrong, though. I’m thinking he’ll be fired for this for making the department look bad; unlike the cops that actually kill people for poor or non-existent reasons, they’re only placed on leave.
