3 cops fired in NC, one of them saying society needed a civil war to wipe Black people off the map.




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 can’t wait. God, I can’t wait.” Moore responded that he wouldn’t do that.

It was a stated goal of these groups years ago. They have a massive presence in most police departments.

and they've never left. They have been emboldened under the Trump administration to become more active but, don't be deceived, the police and military have been fully infiltrated by white supremacists since their inception.

that none of their fellow officers and supervisors ever had the slightest idea that these three hold racist and genocidal views?

I don't believe it.

Everybody says training is the #1 reform. When was the last time training changed who you are?

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.
