Unpopular Police Officer Thinking About Committing Racially Motivated Offense For A Little Support
NEWS IN BRIEF Local Police ISSUE 5034 Aug 27, 2014
?7006
INDIANAPOLISTired of being overlooked by everyone in his precinct, unpopular Indianapolis Police Department officer Kyle Norris told reporters Wednesday he was considering committing a racially motivated offense to generate a little support. To be honest, Im not the most well-known or looked-up-to guy around here, but Im thinking that if I get caught up in a controversy after shooting a minority resident under questionable circumstances, things would really change for me, said Norris, who added that having his coworkers immediately rally around him after the incident, watching consecutive nights of public demonstrations defending his actions, and finally receiving praise directly from the chief of police would be a nice change of pace from his day-to-day life as an ignored and unappreciated member of the force. Obviously, Id take some heat from some citizens, but I think it would be worth it when just as many people respond by openly speaking about my exemplary record as an officer and calling me a pillar of the community. No ones ever said that about me before. If this thing gets big enough, I might even see some people on Twitter and TV calling me a herothat would feel good. Norris added that it would probably also be a nice little boost when the 12 members of his jury take less than an hour to declare him not guilty.

He could pay off his house and buy a new sports car judging from donations received by Zim and Wilson.
Good move for a cop all around to murder innocent kids it would appear.

While they investigated it...and it could take a month to do that.
There is no other job that has such benefits for bad behavior.
