Four Fort Lauderdale cops out after racist texts, video discovered


Four police officers tasked with patrolling a predominantly black neighborhood lost their jobs Friday following a five-month investigation into racially charged text messages sent from their personal phones..

Among the texts were:

Holding: “Id have that noose ready”

“The panty dropper had it’s first fail. This chick was high class cuban, nada impressed her. F------ cuban elite”

“I had a wet dream that you two found those two n------ in the VW and gave them the death penalty right there on the spot.”

Sousa: “Holdings we are coming and drinking all your beer and killing n------.”

Alvarez: “Jimmy what would big dad do to that n-----. Get that n----- out from under that wagon.”

Wells: “And that n----- lover in the wagon.”

How are there so damned many racists? Especially in law enforcement?

I hope that they investigate every single cop, in every single department, that has even a hint of racist practices. And then every last one of the racist pigs is fired

we'll wonder why we didn't tackle this social issue sooner. The answer is, that our criminal justice system is a direct reflection of institutional racism, so it favors those who are racist even before they join the force.
