San Francisco Police Under Investigation for Blatantly Racist Text Messages

[Cali_Democrat]

And yet many whites still wonder why blacks distrust police:



An independent task force, including three retired judges, has launched an investigation into San Francisco’s police department after the discovery of really, really, really, really, really racist text messages sent between 14 officers.

For instance, here are the texts of Sgt. Ian Furminger, a cop convicted of taking personal belongings from drug search subjects, and whose actions prompted the entire review. Per CNN:

In one text, according to the government’s motion, a correspondent asks Furminger if he celebrates Kwanzaa, the December holiday honoring African culture. He responds, “Yeah we burn the cross on the field! Then we celebrate Whitemas,” according to the motion.

In another text, Furminger exchanged text messages with another San Franscisco [sic]police officer about a black man married to a friend of his wife. The couple was visiting their home at the time.

“Get ur pocket gun. Keep it available in case the monkey returns to his roots,” the unnamed police officer texted Furminger, according to the government motion. “Its [sic] not against the law to put an animal down.”

“Well said!” the government says Furminger replied.

Furminger also allegedly called another officer a “f-g,” called a black officer a “f—–n n—-r,” according to CNN affiliate KPIX, and made derogatory comments about Mexicans and Filipinos.

“Get ur pocket gun. Keep it available in case the monkey returns to his roots,” the unnamed police officer texted Furminger, according to the government motion. “Its [sic] not against the law to put an animal down.”
