San Diego police sergeant Arthur Scott has filed a lawsuit claiming he was retaliated against after complaining of a racist cartoon used during a training session:
At issue is a century-old newspaper cartoon mocking a black police officer in the city. It shows Chinese men in pigtails running in fear from an ape-like caricature.
The lawsuit said the cartoon was passed around in a training class without historical context on race relations.
Scott, 43, said he complained to a supervisor. He claims he was later passed over for a promotion, pressured into taking an undesirable transfer and threatened with disciplinary action “based upon frivolous allegations of misconduct.”
The offensive cartoon is pictured below:
This isn't the first time Sergeant Scott has complained of racially-charged material making the rounds:
Scott is the vice president of the San Diego Black Police Officers' Association and has spoken out before. The lawsuit states that in 2011 when Scott complained about racist images of President Barack Obama in some officers' lockers, a lieutenant said he was being "hyper sensitive."
it's things like this that embolden White cops to kill Black men and children the general atmosphere among those cops and evidently the higher ups are all complicit the lower ranks commit and the upper ranks dismiss with paid vacations and vindications, meanwhile republicans and right winger's and police run around denying the existence of racism in America and have their little not so witty "PULLING THE RACE CARD" retort anytime they are faced with the reality of it, it is a republican canned response.
my response to that is ; http://www.ibuzzle.com/img/articleImages/603532-55014-12.jpg
