INTERNAL REPORT: Top Phoenix cop used racial slur, objectified female officer

[@BaronSemediLive]

💡If a police officer would describe one of his "brother's in blue" that way. Then you don't have to imagine how they talk about Black civilians and suspects.

[@phampton16]

I totally agree

[@louisinc5101]

Exacto!! You know this is NOT his first time either!!! The question is- “WHAT & HOW MUCH HAS HE BEEN DOING” *ALL OF THEM*💯

Just like white people like me, I might need some A- neg blood and the only one around is the black guy who is my friend. Just because you are white doesn't mean you are different, your blood is red and the Same type so be careful when you label people, the only difference is color. If color bothers you, you are not an American, you are a racist and need to leave. Go Where? Far Away.

And, if any officer decides to speak out about it, he is an outcast, ridiculed, threatened and his career is ran through a fine tooth comb.
