    Yeah. That was 3 years ago.

    And, obviously it wasn't enough to get him fired.

    I am just pointing out that this Cop is very controversial.

    And, he has a history of being controversial.

    "Suspended with pay" seems to be getting off easy.

    Do you think that idiot who was the Boeing CEO got his job and golden parachute because of merit? You could have done a better job even if you didn't know what an airplane is.

    it wasn't cause of race, it was because of wealth, like Trump and Biden's children most likely

    the only time poor people get the job of ceo for a huge corp is when they are being set up to take a fall

    The fact that until the Civil Acts in the 1960s, a majority of minorities and women were often best they could hope for is a janitor job or other low end job or be accepted at any good school.

    Slowly, that has been changing, but the families who two hundred years and 10 generations of father to son and the wealth of non taxed capital gains from those same generations has made an enormous gains for the wealthy, or if someone outside the family needed to be hired, they didn't hire a sharecropper, it was your white buddy Biff from your rowing school.

    That wealth IS the accumulation of years of racial advancement from white privilege that has kept the white privilege on top.

    This is why the Trump and his terrified buddies who think they are going to do any good from Trump and his wealthy friends.
