EDITOR'S NOTE: The St. Louis police officer named in this story, Darren Wilson, is not the officer involved in the fatal Ferguson shooting of Michael Brown on Aug. 9, 2014:

ST. LOUIS • Police Chief Sam Dotson ordered internal and criminal investigations after a black officer in the department’s south patrol division received a racist letter through interdepartmental mail.

“I’m frustrated and disappointed,” Dotson said of the letter, which came to his attention early last week.

The typed letter arrived in a sealed white envelope with the receiving officer’s name on it inside a public mailbox for his district about a month ago. Laced with profanity and a racial epithet, it read: “You black (expletive). We want you out of our station. We want your black (expletive) dead. (Expletive) your medals. If an aide call comes out for you WE WON’T RESPOND. KILL YOURSELF (expletive) OR WE WILL. Respectfully, South Patrol.”

Dotson said the act could be considered a hate crime. He said he has taken steps to ensure the officer’s safety, but declined to be specific.

“In an abundance of caution, I wanted to do everything I could to reassure him that we were taking this seriously,” he said.

2. That would certainly explain why so few black cops work there

3. Exactly...now I see why that black cop marched with the community, he knows the real deal there.
