Police Chief ‘Shocked, Saddened And Disgusted’ Over N.C.Officers Racist Comments | MSNBC
How can you be shocked? 40%, 132,000,000 American citizens are out and out racists. 40% of cops must be too
@Shane Hackett What do you believe I lied about Shane?
tinyurl.com/y7ud87fg 👈😳
@William H Music 2020 only for a daddys boy like you.
@William H Music 2020 wrong again, your conversion therapy lowered your already substandard iq.
@theWZZA you are completely right. Most of us never act on it.
@Randy Couch everyone is racists about something like i am against white supremacists and trumpets not Republicans but trumpets who want the United States destroyed and are doing the best they can to make sure that happens
I don’t want a dictator but a president.
Republicans cannot hide their hatred of black people.
Tommy Westbrook not with that thumb you got between your legs.
I grew up in Texas most of my life. I know. I’m black btw.
@Squirmin Herman the one eyed German How do you get alone with your family and friends if they’re racist?
@Alberta Shaw that was a big old ho
@Tommy Westbrook 😂🤣🤭🤡🤡
there is no possible way to be shocked by this without having not paid any attention to current events at all..
Exactly!
I’m only shocked they recorded themselves by mistake… there’s _LITERALLY_ nothing about these LEOs that is shocking or out of character.
FTP.
This racist attitude is endemic to a certain sector of our society, and it has been woven in the fabric of America since its founding. It is systemic, dyed in the wool. To Black people, this kind of thinking about them and treatment of them is all too fimiliar. But apparently, it is “news” to others. This cannot continue. Change is needed NOW!
Ain’t nothing like there are few bad apples all the apples in the basket are rooting and we have to troll them away very far and quickly as possible!!
Right!
Make sure these clowns don’t get another job in America.
@William H Music 2020 you are too stupid for facts.
@Mark W Exactly
Like most cops. It’s either police force or Burger King. Bottom of the barrel
they’ll be catching the redeye to sandpoint, ID tomorrow night.
@A C Yep yep
He may well have been saddened and disgusted, but no black police officer who’s been in the job long enough to rise to Chief of Police was “shocked” by this.
He’s not shocked they said it… ‘cause I’m sure he feels the same way… he’s shocked they got caught.
At least he’s in a position to DO something about it!
He was one of those good old boys turning a blind I and excepting that this the way things are and I need my JOB.
Missy Gilly
No he is not…
And even if he was he wouldn’t….
the reason he made it that far in rank, is by playing by their rules😏
About time! There is no excuse for this kind of behavior…
Get rid of police who are animals
Calling genocidal racist cops animals degrades the animals. They’re vermin!
@Sue B A lot of hate in your heart…
Don’t act surprised. For years many have addressed white supremacy behind the badge as a new tactic to abuse people of color..Maybe stop acting surprised, start hiring with better background checks and stop hiring “friends of friends” within the police department.
The following excerpt is from KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation (CIA torture guide) dated July 1963: The aim of the Alice in Wonderland Tactic or confusion technique is to confound the expectations and conditioned reactions of the interrogatee, or in its current mainstream application, to force the controlled narrative onto an unsuspecting public through the use of Psychological Operations tactics spread through the mainstream media. Most people are accustomed to a world that makes some sense, at least in their mind and that which supports their sense of identity. They may believe in a world based on continuity and logic, a predictable world. The individual or the public may cling to this belief system that makes up their world view in order to reinforce their ego identity and powers of resistance to not bend to the will of others superimposed narratives and agendas.
Two days ago the news reported about an army soldier who plotted with a white supremacist group to ambush his own unit.
This happens because people see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear. These are the people they tell me a black man in America to trust they are here to help, protect and serve. Lord Jesus help this country because the blind is leading the blind and half the people that can see won’t!
Disgusting yes. Shocking nooooo. This is cops. Cops don’t choose between the police force or an engineer or a nurse. No no no. Don’t be silly. It’s a cop or Burger King. Delusional to pretend otherwise
@Rick Nash Burger King has better employees than this . Where are they hiring them from the KKK rally.
That’s disgusting and there defending themselves gross ..they should charge with hate
Floyd was a felon! These police need a raise!
Randy Couch and now those cops are felons they need to die also 🤦🏽♂️ moron!!!
@Chico P . Are you here legally?? Time to cut off your welfare!
@Randy Couch you should go back were your from. We don’t want your kind here anymore. Thanks for playing. Have a great day!
@Randy Couch And they say republicans are not racists. Sigh
How about mandatory mental health screenings for these type of “public servants”?
All of the above. 👍
Especially for someone running for President. And copies of their tax returns to be sure they aren’t being influenced by a foreign country. We have to learn something from the mistake we made last time we voted.
@allen white Right, it should be on the moment they clock in.
We’re paying for it, we should have a say on all these matters.
That’s and very good idea
HIS FIRST WEEK ON THE JOB?!?!?!?!?! 😂🤣😅😂🤣😅😂🤣😅!!! WELCOME TO NORTH CAROLINA SIR!!!
Police in their true form 🔥✝️!!!
FTP!!!
They should investigate every arrest they have made because this three racist cops have made lots of victims..
@Spunn Center sure, as long as these cops get investigated you can label it anything you’d like.
@Spunn Center Enough with the labels. People are people.
That’s why they became cops.
Amnesty International
@Jeramie Oakley didn’t thought of that,but can they do anything?? I mean the USA is protecting its people from those things.
Publish it! Make it public! Show it to the world. Make it go viral.
Research the Court System in America and how it was set up after the Civil War. ALL the answers are there.
Imagine what the ones that don’t get caught are saying? It’s putrid and disgusting. That’s American policemen for you folks!!
They don’t get caught because they are talking to each other.
Its sad ,so sad, that these sick demented ,insane former cops will probably get another job at a different Police department somewhere else in North Carolina
They need to look into all the arrest made behind these cops.
yep.
The confusion technique is designed not only to obliterate the familiar but to replace it with the weird and nonsensical, normalizing lunatic behaviors and states of madness portrayed as sane. Although this method can be employed by a single interrogator, it is better adapted to use by two or three or more. When the subject enters the room, the first interrogator asks a Doubletalk question — one which seems straightforward but is essentially nonsensical. Whether the interrogatee tries to answer or not, the second interrogator follows up (interrupting any attempted response) with a wholly unrelated and equally illogical query. Sometimes two or more questions are asked simultaneously. Pitch, tone, and volume of the interrogators’ voices are unrelated to the import of the questions. No pattern of questions and answers is permitted to develop, nor do the questions themselves relate logically to each other. In this strange atmosphere the subject finds that the pattern of speech and thought which he has learned to consider normal have been replaced by an eerie meaninglessness. The interrogatee may start laughing or refuse to take the situation seriously. But as the process continues, day after day if necessary, the subject begins to try to make sense of the situation, which becomes mentally intolerable. Now he is likely to make significant admissions, or even to pour out his story, just to stop the flow of babble which assails him. This technique may be especially effective with the orderly, obstinate type.
@hoya03 And then there’s the tried and true method of having your ADA threaten ridiculously overblown charges in order to scare your desperate, confused “perp” into accepting a plea deal
They already are, more than half of them have had their cases dismissed and charges dropped already… THAT SAYS ALOT!
Can they be charged with instigating violence? They should never get a job again in law enforcement or where they have access to weapons.
Just watch. trump will hire them for rally security or something.
They should be treated with the same as a sexual predictor
Disgusting individuals who need to be fired
NO SURPRISES here, there are more out there. NOT just in the south but ALL over America.
This is why police shouldn’t be able to turn the camera or audio off. The camera doesn’t turn off until the police clock out.
How would you like to wear a device that records your every action?
