Emails Police Racist

When ever you have police officers that are racist, you have to possibility that someone some where was not given equal treatment under the law. I'm glad the police chief is doing the investigation, Ill be even happier if he actually does something to the culprits. If he just lets this go away, then nothing gets accomplished at all. I hope he continues on his investigation, then punishes the people who where involved. Unfortunately, allot of people probably agreed with the offending officer or it wouldn't have gotten sent around so much.

Racist Police Emails History & Civil Business Politics

From what I read in the article, it is possible this was a "joke" e-mail similar to what you might find circulating in the US regarding how to deal with terrorists or welfare recipients, etc.

That doesn't make it good behavior, but it might explain the circulation of it. People often laugh at humor that is directed at one "group" or another even if they wouldn't personally consider doing anything adversely to them directly. We often allow ourselves to laugh at a "joke" without considering what the joke really means or says.

In Canada there is a real problem with the dealing of aborginals. I once went to Montreal and saw a real tearjerker show about the police chief of Ontario who was a racist. And I am thinking:THIS IS CANADA FOR CHRISSAKES! It's supposed to show the world an example for human rights! It was really sad the aborginal state of affairs. In Place Jacques Cartier,also in Montreal I heard some really good aborginal music and I thought they definately deserve more, especially since it was their country orginally.

I guess when you are a police officer and honor, respect and fulfill your responsibilities, you cannot be so light-minded in issues like this one.

I find we always refer to these type of things as a "joke" as long as it does not touch us directly. A joke is a joke when everybody laughs.

This form of racial propaganda seems to be getting more popular, but sadly, it is a coward form of delivery, since they hide behind their Email rather that express their feelings out loud.
