It is now K time even for phenom

LOL @ even for Phenom.

Because I don't want to live in a totalitarian society where even peoples private thoughts are monitored by the government.

Yeah sorry, my family came here to escape that crap bro. Im not about to support turning into the US into the same kind of place.


That we are even discussing this topic is absurd. I can only attribute it to the fact that most people just aren't very bright or operate under the fantasy that all future questionable thought will be in line with their thinking.

Way to cede your rights to the government.

I am a HUGE advocate of freedom of speech. However, when that freedom interferes with your ability to do your job, I would say that you can be fired at will.

Now, many people have said that unless he actually does an act of racism on the job, he should not be fired. However, I tell you as a former criminal defense attorney, that I would bring up his racists comments every time I represented a minority client who was arrested by him. It would be my duty to examine whether there was actual probable cause or whether he was just acting on prejudice.

Also, think about what would happen if he had to shoot a minority while on the job. The press would be all over the statements on the KKK site and the city could even be thrown into a riot over it.

One more thing. Now that the press has picked up the story, how do you think minorities are going to react when he goes to ask them questions, pull them over, arrest them? If I were in that position, I don't know if I would pull over for this weirdo.

Nah, I think he should know that posting on a KKK site would get him in hot water and is jeapordizing his effectiveness as a cop. Cops are entrusted to serve and protect. He can't be trusted in this position after exercising such bad judgment. He should eitehr be fired or given a harmless desk job.

The only salient issue is his ability to do his job post publication.

As a practical matter it would be near impossible for him to conduct law enforcement proceedings at this point.

My guess would be the city will find some settlement with him and he'll move on.

If he has a history then YES, he should be fired... If he's done nothing to exibit racism then i would beleive there is no grounds to fire him. Its sad sometimes, because maybe he's an accident waiting to happen.. but even in domestic disputes, there has to be evidence to press any charges right? I see no difference in this situation. I think that if they give him enough rope he will eventually hang himself... Its only a matter of time esp being affiliated with that orginzation.

Exactly my point. Agreed.

He was probably upset because no action was being taken at his wife's work because the guy hitting on her was black and thus the company feared the lawsuits and backlash from you politically correct dumbasses.

I'd be pissed too.

I do not support either, but what's the difference in the KKK and the NAACP?

Your post deserves to be ignored from this point forward, but I digress. One has a looooong history of violence and one doesn't.

Both support based on race. There are hatefull, racists people in each I gaurantee that. The KKK doesn't go around lynching people like many of you want to believe.

anymore....but they would if they could count on a jury that let them get away with it.

Personally - I feel that if somone carries those type of feelings - sooner or later they WILL interfere with his profession

I think the point he was making is with respect to compatibility of racial views. I think most take it as a given that any actual violence, or ongoing or even recent violence, would disqualify the exemption.

And brohaim , if we are going to be denying people jobs based on prejudicial inclinations, then I doubt many black men would be able to find work in this country based on homosexual bias alone.

Even if he never acts on it, a prosecutor would have a hard time prosecuting a case against a minority when the arresting officer is openly racist on a website. He should have known better and exercised such bad judgment that I wouldn't trust his judgement on much else.

So we post on a steroid site, I guess we are all roid abusers.

Phenom has it right, when we start taking away our free speech we have a police state. Many of you PC sheep fail to see it.

Sadly this guy's carrer is already ruined, Heatherrae gave examples why. Despite not making one racist comment or action, that we know of.


Let's make fun of God and Christ, but OMG! OMG! somebody said a racist comment, lets kill him!!!!!!!!!!!

Give me a break.
