The Bend Police Department has changed the name of one of its K9s, "Lil' Kim," following a controversy over the fact that it shares a name with Grammy award-winning rapper Lil' Kim, Oregon Public Broadcasting reports.


quote:

Riccardo Waites, the founder of the Central Oregon Black Leaders Assembly, said in a video Thursday that he met with Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz to express concerns about the dog's name.

"It’s a little tiny black dog, K9 dog, that the police call 'Lil' Kim.' If you’re a person of color, or if you’re a fan of Lil' Kim, you know her significance in Hip Hop. You also know that she’s a gangster rapper," he said in the video. "Just to be honest, I don’t want to see Lil' Kim out there biting people of color."


quote:

Chief Krantz told Oregon Public Broadcasting that the dog, a Belgian Malinois shepherd, was never named after the rapper, but would now go by Kim.

"Although the dog is not named after a musician, it’s important to recognize that some people may assume that or believe that," Krantz told OPB. "I think in the eyes of some community members there is a connection historically to the use of dogs, specifically on protestors and Black community members, and that, that could bring a fear of canines."


This shite is impossible to make up.

Why are you assuming the dog is only biting blacks?

lil Kim is so far out of the public consciousness. I bet they named it after Kim Jong Un, did Trump ever call him lil Kim?

I honestly cannot keep up any more.

Don't want to see a police dog biting black people? Easy solution: do more to keep black people from breaking the law.

They could name the dog after my dead mother, and I would not care, because there is no way that dog will ever have a reason to bite me.

Every time an organization or agency caves to these idiots in the name of not offending someone, it just encourages it.

That’s not what he’s assuming. He’s saying he wants to see it out there biting whites.

In Baltimore's inner harbor they have some museum ships that you can tour, include the USS Constellation and the USCGC *****.

The USCGC *****, is a Coast Guard Cutter and is the last surviving ship that was at Pearl Harbor. She also served in the battle for Okinawa and in Vietnam. She was, however, named for Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, also from Maryland, who wrote the majority opinion in the Dred Scott case and who is a controversial figure.

So, the folks in Baltimore decided to take the name off the ship, because that will somehow make everything better.

Makes me wonder about the sample that was surveyed back when Oregon was labeled "The Anal Sex Capital of the US"

...seems like must've been fewer women than I first imagined.

Black fragility. How can a group be so capable of violence and so sensitive at the same time.

Just burn it all down and start iver.

If this is the type of shite people are getting upset over, they're far too comfortable in their lives.
