Former LAPD detective was captured on video saying racial slurs to a Black man after a car accident

Now the DA's office is reviewing hundreds of his past cases.

A former LAPD detective was recorded on video saying racist slurs to a Black man, resulting in a review of hundreds of his past cases by the district attorney's office.

The recently retired officer, identified as John Motto, was captured on video calling the man a "dumb n------" during the heated verbal exchange following a car accident in Valencia, California, CBSLA reported.

"Go back in your little cage until the monkey controller gets here," Motto said in the video that has widely circulated on social media.

The Los Angeles Police Department responded to the incident on their official Twitter page on Tuesday stating that "what is seen in the video is not reflective of the thousands of hard-working and dedicated men and women of the Los Angeles Police Department."

First..he’s too stupid to be in uniform..he doesn’t know about video/audio by now.
Second..before firing him, he needs some tolerance training or whatever they call it these days..I think “defund” might be coming up..
Third.. make sure that after he’s fired or even charge with hate crimes..he’s never allowed to wear a inform ever. No kind of uniform. Not even dog catcher. Fire him.
