The ironic thing is that I never would have known had you not brought it to this board. Thank you for doing your part.

The future is a sad place. PC everything, everywhere, anytime. Trophies for everyone.

Also, this is why I don't ever watch the news or go to their websites anymore. I prefer to be in my own bubble. I can get the news through a second party.

I edited to include a few texts. Funny thing is most of this is G-rated by OT standards.

Lai used coded language to talk about gay officers, according to a source, and made a blanket statement impugning residents of the city's largely minority and low-income Tenderloin district. 

:ohno: he called then drug dealers

Out of context but why are they searching his personal phone
?

Seems like a semi insecure dude trying to act cool by being negative or edgy.

If the grouptexts I'm in were ever made public, I would surely be fired from any current and future jobs.

I have a friend who is a cop in Miami and he gets down and dirty in some of seediest areas of the city.

I have zero problem with him blowing off a little non-PC steam to me since he's earned the right.

This guy apparently has had a past, and it was a matter of time before he had to bounce.

Do they search criminals phones too? I wonder what they call other people.

Fricking this. He took that "bait" and is now spreading it.

Surely we can agree that a racist cop with that much bias is an issue, no?

I'm not saying that is the case here as I don't know any of the details, nor do I know why his personal texts were searched, but if he is indeed exuding over-the-top bias and/or racism, it would be grounds for termination of a police officer IMO.

It isn't like he is the customer service rep for ATT or something. I'd prefer my police officers have as little bias as possible, no?

CNN.co has at least two ridiculous race baiting stories every day. I check in there at least once a day for a good head shaking moment.

That's true. He "took the bait".

But who's throwing that big fat juicy bait time and time again? The trumpet of the Neo-Jacobins, a supposed main stream TV and Internet news outlet, CNN.

how does it affect you? And if it doesn't then why do you care enough to post about your feelings about it on this message board?

I made it clear I wasn't referencing this particular case, but I don't mind my police officers being a little more PC even if it is just to squash any concerns of discrimination or bias within a department. You work for the people as a police officer. If there was ever a job where you need to be as fair as possible, that is is.
