"yeah we burn the cross on the field and then celebrate whiteness." he wrote to another police officer "i hate to tell you my friend is over with kids and her husband is black is an attorney and should i be worried. the officer wrote back get your pocket gun and if the monkey needs to be put down." there are many other texts that are homophobic. there are texts about asian americans and repeated references to the "n" word. in response there was a press conference called the next day by the attorney and later a press conference where the sergeant spoke and they basically said it was just a joke and nothing that was said carried over into what was on the streets. i just want to give you a sense of what is happening on the streets and how this translates into incidents,
