So a third officer is involved now?


yeah

http://www.fox16.com/news/local-news/lrpd-suspends-veteran-sergeant/937930295

A veteran Little Rock police sergeant, well known for helping at-risk teens, has been suspended by the department.

LRPD said Sergeant Willie Davis has been suspended for several days.
...

Sgt. Davis said his suspension is related to his handling of a racial slur posted on a police recruit's personal Facebook page, which Sgt. Davis found out about back in Novmeber.

Sgt. Davis took the information to the Little Rock Black Police Officers Association (LRBPOA) first.

"Willie, at that time, wanted to further the investigation by bringing it to the black police officers association and we attacking it from there to get behind what was going on with the post," said Sgt. Rodney Lewis, LRBPOA President.

Sgt. Lewis said Sgt. Davis should have taken the knowledge someplace else first instead.

Dumb as fuck firing the black guy. It's the real life equivalent of the dumbass "same thing, both sides" argument I see floated around here.

No matter how much certain element of this country plead to tell you otherwise, there is a difference between a white a black person using it. Sorry, not sorry.

Get a load of this guy advocating racism

Yeah, if the police force allowed the black officer to stay after firing the white officer that officer could turn around and sue the police force, rightfully claiming racial discrimination. It would literally be a case of 'they fired me because I'm white'.

The lesson in all of this is 'don't say stupid crap online because it's considered public record'. Also, incorporate Internet culture classes into schools as kids need to understand Internet basics.

This, hard. That's a Kevin Hart quote, not used in a derogatory manner. Shouldn't have posted it, but it shouldn't be grounds for dismissal. That's ridiculous.

If it was just a one time thing neither should have been fired on the spot, but if it was continuous then it's fair. No matter who you believe is "allowed" to say it in general, it's not something you should be calling someone on the clock.

Kinda yes.

Cause they did do something.

White Cop said the N word on social media which is a clear no no for any white person. Many have got in trouble for this.

The black cop got offended and DEMANDED the white cops job.

So the white cop got fired like many entertainment figures did for using the word.

The black cop got fired for using the word, but the karma part is that he only got fired because he persistently sought to screw the white guy over even after he apologized.

the guy who reported it to the black officers union only got suspended, but yeah

I originally didn't post that part because it wasn't yet public info -- originally I had no idea if the first black cop did report it (but it seemed unlikely because he and the dude had already settled their argument or whatever)

I see, so that is unfortunate

I guess what happened is the union got involved and the lawyer thought citing the black officer's use of the word would save the white guy

but instead it got both fired

To say that one person cannot use a certain word because of the color of their skin is no different and no less racist than saying one person cannot sit at the front of the bus because of the color of their skin.

He literally wasn't shitposting - he quoted Kevin Hart in a post to a black friend of his.

This is why it's stupid to claim that it's racist for white people to say that word, regardless of context, while also suggesting black people can say it at any time, regardless of context.
