16 Miami Beach cops probed over 'disgusting' racist, sexist email

Fire the rest of these cretinous bigots (one retired last year and one has been fired) And if possible, prosecute them.


An internal affairs probe Miami Beach found that two high-level former police officers sent hundreds of crude, racist and pornographic emails to fellow cops over a two-year period, the state's attorney and police officials say.

The officials said Thursday that the incidents may have compromised dozens of criminal cases in which the officers were witnesses.

Many involved crude racial jokes about President Barack Obama or black celebrities like pro golfer Tiger Woods and rapper Snoop Dogg, the officials told reporters at a news conference.

One shows a woman with a black eye and the caption, "Domestic violence. Because sometimes, you have to tell her more than once."

Another featured an image of "Black Monopoly," in which every board game square shows a cop saying "Go to Jail."

Some of the emails, all sent via city email servers, made fun of women and undocumented immigrants and were sprinkled with pornographic images.
