3 Police officers in Wilmington, NC, were fired after inappropriate comments, including one officer saying society needed a civil war to wipe Black people off the map.
At the 46-minute mark of the video, Piner and Gilmore began talking from their respective cars, at which time Piner criticized the department, saying its only concern was kneeling down with the black folks. About 30 minutes later, Piner received a phone call from Moore, according to the investigation, a segment in which Moore referred to a Black female as a negro. He also referred to the woman by using a racial slur. He repeated the use of the slur in describing a Black magistrate, and Moore used a gay slur to describe the magistrate as well.
Later, according to the investigation, Piner told Moore that he feels a civil war is coming and that he is ready. Piner said he was going to buy a new assault rifle, and soon we are just going to go out and start slaughtering them (expletive) Blacks. I cant wait. God, I cant wait. Moore responded that he wouldnt do that.

I don't believe it.

Recruiting is #1. If you as an applicant are asked why you want to be a cop, and your reply is that you want to help people. They should boot your ass out of the office because you are lying.
Police departments recruit bullies, racists, power seekers. If Trump wasn't supposedly rich, he would of wanted to be a cop.
