Minneapolis Mayor says officers will be fired for racist Christmas tree decor

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob says officers responsible for racist Christmas tree decor in police station will be fired
If Popeyes, cheap beer, spicy junk food, and cigarettes are descriptive of any one race, the entire population of the state of Louisiana could claim to be its own race.

Minneapolis City Council Member Phillipe Cunningham said he had spoken to 4th Precinct Inspector Aaron Biard, who said every year an officer is assigned to decorate the tree. And, as a prank, another officer "hung some inappropriate ornaments after it was decorated." A photo of the tree on social media showed it decorated with a Popeye's Chicken cup, beer cans, junk food bags, cigarettes and other items. "Inspector Biard immediately took action the day the tree went up," Cunningham's post read. "The inappropriate decorations were taken down. The officer was both disciplined and coached. There will be cultural sensitivity training and a community outreach event planned."
However, in a fiery statement Friday morning, Frey said he would be pursuing more severe punishment. "This behavior is racist, despicable, and is well beneath the standards of any person who serves the city of Minneapolis," his statement read.

"I believe there are a lot of people working in Minnesota to produce justice but I also think there are many forces working against it and we have to recognize this is a systemic issue and it's not just good enough to fire the individual who put the decorations up," said Minneapolis NAACP President Leslie Redmond. "I believe that these decorations were an attack on the black community and I think the 4th Precinct has been allowed to attack the black community," she said.

Liberals have ruined this once great nation. I really believe it’s to a point of no return now.

He would have got away with it, if it wasn't for those dang menthol cigarettes.

It's funny cause you would think it would be racist because they are saying black people like these things, but it's only racist because they actually do lol

I wonder if it would be considered racist if he hung some Pita chips, Virginia Slim's, and wine coolers.

I bet that a fat purple-haired white woman is behind this, and black officers are the pranksters.
