A Memphis police officer's Snapchat photo shows a man pointing a gun at an emoji of a black man running. Two police officers have been suspended with pay until a hearing is held.
>The post brought out anger from Interim MPD Director Mike Rallings. It was posted the same night as the fatal shootings of five Dallas officers, and it came days after two people died at the hands of law enforcement.
>The incident caused to Interim Director Rallings to vent and suspend him.
>"The image is disgusting and will not be tolerated" said Rallings.
>The director also suspended the officer who noticed the Snapchat and posted it on Wwitter. Both officers relieved of duty with pay until they have a hearing.

memphis is a black crime infested shithole.
>>57374
Yep, a black guy gets mad and kills 5 cops, and a white cop isnt allowed to post a gun pointed at an emoji.
Thank a liberal for this state we're in.

nice racebait, /pol/
meanwhile, in the real world:
>The image is disgusting and will not be tolerated. We will conduct a thorough investigation and the individuals responsible will be held accountable. I just spoke to a group of young people at LeMoyne-Owen about decisions and we are responsible for the decisions we make and we are held to a higher standard."

>two negatives make a positive
I hate this backwards reasoning that conservatives have. This whole rogue reactionary thinking is what is preventing world peace.

>World peace
Keep injecting that bong marijuana, you hippie faggot.
World peace can be achieved only with total annihilation of the human race. I welcome and support said events, and would dance in the rivers of blood as I await my own death.
Otherwise, keep your 'peace' and leave me and my rights intact, because this country was founded on the basis that human rights triumph over your hurt feelings. I'm looking at you, England.

At this point with police pulling out guns at every little moment, I'd be rightly pissed at an officer posting this no matter what the race of the emoji (but the obviously-black skin makes it flat-on racist -- default emojis are designed to be as racially ambiguous as possible, so this guy clearly wasn't going for the default).

>FUCKING RACIST FUCK YOU
Bloody Americans.

Your edge is showing, underage fag
>>57420
Yeah this guy went out of his way to make it racial. It's their own fault for posting it on public channels.
Also
>punisher logo on the pistol
Punisher is not someone who should be emulated. The character even makes a point of saying that in multiple forms of media. I bet this guy thought Warzone was a good movie.

Sorry about that, I was pretty drunk.

Thanks for posting. Nice to see someone has sense enough to keep the important issues in mind.

oh no. They are paid their wages but don't have to work for them. What will they do?
>>57413
Ur a faggit
>>57403
LOL
Not that guy, nor do I agree with him, but do yourself a favour and rid the idea that world peace will ever be attainable from your mind. It's naive at best and makes you look like a total retard at worst.
I don't mean offence, it's just like believing in Neverland: it's a nice idea but we don't live in that world.
>>57413
I bet you tell people you get into fights all the time to look cool and are also a closeted bi/homosexual.
>>57574
Never fought once in my life. Closet bi? Maybe 10%, I've masturbated to traps a few times. You know that guilty feeling after masturbating to some really hardcore nasty porn? It's kind of like that, but I still do it from time to time. Sometimes I wonder if it's a side effect of 4chan.
At least they are getting paid while every around them throws a tantrum. This is, at a stretch, racist but even more importantly, it is bad taste considering the recent events. The Police need the people's trust not their hate.
I hope the offending officers only get a stern talking to because this is but a symptom of a disease. If you keep taking pain pills and morphine while ignoring your broken leg, your are going to end up with some serious issues down the line.

Your age is showing. You might want to graduate Highschool before returning.
