We only kill black people,’ a cop told a woman

[Wolfman31]

WHAT?!

liberal circle jerk on mmo champ? no fucking way

It's everywhere on the internet. Socialist entitlement babies don't actually work so they have plenty of time to spam the internet.

Because it was neither an honest opinion or a joke. It was a man trying to calm down a crazy lady from doing something stupid

Shouldn't a cop be able to calm someone down without saying racist shit?

[Alphatorg]

Not sure why people call him a despicable racist, for making a sarcastic joke to defuse a situation. Especially when half the internet seems belief that he spoke the truth anyway.
Sure, you can discipline him for making an inappropriate comment, but some reactions here are way overboard.

I also think people need to realize that you need to cut cops some slack if you want to judge their behaviour in stress situations from your comfy armchair, especially since they usually aren't magna cum laude university graduates.

Fact is the way he went about the situation was wrong. I work in a prison in Canada and god forbid if I were to say something like that to some of societies worst people. Officers are suppose to be held to a higher standard, there are other ways of deescalating the situation that are more appropriate. Sarcasm or not, joking or not, that isn't something you say while in uniform plain and simple. I don't care what others think, that is the world we currently live in. This officer kicked himself in the ass and he just has to deal with the shitstorm he has created.

Hopefully other officers throughout the US will not make the same mistake.

I don't believe he is a racist, however I do believe using THAT sarcastic joke to defuse the situation was wrong. I don't believe he should be fired but what he did was wrong and I believe they are also making an example out of him. Lastly police officers are trained to deal with more stressful situations than correctional officers. However this officer was not in a stressful situation at all, this situation was pretty easy to deal with so he should have been able to deal with it a lot better than he did.

I think the cop was more stupid than the people being upset about it. He should have known this isn't the kind of thing you can joke around about anymore.
He probably isn't racist, just stupid and quite unprofessional. People will never stop feeling sensitive about these things so all you can do is not make those kinds of jokes.

>He thinks liberals are socialists.


lol, this guy.

[Vargulf the Happy Husky]

He was making a joke, *sigh*.

yep, sarcasm is dying.

[Caaethil]

Sounds like the officer isn't a genuine racist, and was trying to make a joke to diffuse. I don't agree with it though, he could have been much more tactful.

[Segus1992]

Didn't you know? Sarcasm is a crime

Considering how hot the racist topic is in America currently with the KKK, Trump supporters and other morons, making a joke about racist murder probably isn't the smartest of choices, especially for a policeman. I'd want him to no longer be a policeman based on the level of stupidity necessary for that alone.

Also, it's kind of like a German saying "we only gas Jews", but on a smaller level. Would people really defend that?

[Deleted]

Actually it does matter. Just like saying "I'm going to kill him for doing that" can be interpreted in different ways (expressing anger towards someone vs actually having an intent to kill someone).

Would that person have a firearm and be in a position of extreme authority ?

yep, sarcasm is dying.

Just like black people pulled by cops?

[sircaw]

Sweet Jesus he makes a sarcastic remark directed towards her stupid arse comment and he gets fired, whats happening to the world.

[Wolfman31]

>He thinks liberals are socialists.


lol, this guy.

Not moderate liberals no, but progressive liberals most certainly are, like how Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren won't shut up about socialist countries in Europe and how great they are.

What is happening is that so behaviour is recorded as video and audio. If you behave like a dickhead the world can now see it.

This is only the tip of the iceberg of course.

It's because they are unless you're mega rich.

[satimy]

A cop being a horrific racist? I'm shocked.

There isn't a cop in the US that's as racist as you though

[Elba]

I don't think that's true.

I don't think that's true.

It is, I keep track

Fair enough.

That's literally republicans and conservatives as they're poorer less educated and take up the most tax dollars in entitlements.

[Torrasque]

you would fire a man that has worked for you over 30years for making a joke? lol good thing you have no power, cause you would definitely abuse it.

I've already fired people for less. I don't accept anything that hinders my company, and for that I am paid very well.

Except nazi germany did indeed commit genocide.

Oh wait, you actually believe your police is also committing genocide.. the pigs.
