Noose found at Walker PD - with bonus racial slur

quote:

A Walker Police Department sergeant hung a noose in the station's squad room several weeks ago and the situation came to light on Wednesday when Chief David Addison requested the Attorney General's office to investigate.

Addison, who took the position in January, said he found out about the incident several weeks ago and suspended the officer for three days without pay.

But then the bonus racial slur by the Chief.

The situation came up once again on Wednesday night after Addison had a discussion with WBRZ reporter Chris Nakamoto about a specific state law that prohibits the public display of a noose in a public place with the intent to intimidate.

Addison said that in response, he requested a further investigation of the incident by the Louisiana Attorney General's office. "This is to me a criminal act and if it is we’re going to take appropriate action with the officer," Addison said. "And whatever (the Attorney General's office) tells me to do, whether it's to arrest the guy, we're going to do whatever they tell us to do... Any kind of bad behavior towards any one, white, black, oriental, won't be tolerated."

As recently discussed on the OT, and news to many, the "O Word" is a no-go these days. What are the chances the Asian Community and Asian Lives Matter marches / riots and demands the Chief be fired? Do you think their community activists will take to social media and make this a national story? Will the US Justice Department intervene? Or will cooler heads prevail, realizing that no one got hurt, it is just a word and that people have more important things to do like go to work and deal with their families?
