    And had Tray been drowned at birth, his parents would not be living the high life now thanks to the settlement they got because their son attacked someone!

    Investigation: Cop makes racist remark amid Trayvon Martin case

    WINTER PARK, Fla. -
    A Winter Park police officer stepped down after making a racist remark while discussing the Trayvon Martin case.

    Lieutenant Ron Johnson quickly retired after an internal investigation revealed he said, "This is why they should be drowned at birth," in reference to black people.

    That remark came from the 27-year veteran to fellow officers during a February police briefing when their conversation turned to the Martin case.
    "I think that's appalling that anyone would say that or think it or believe it, especially in my town," said Ann Lulow, a Winter Park resident.

    "I think it's ignorance, just absolute on his part to even utter such words," said Julius John.

    "Lt. Ron Johnson has been a part of our police family for many years, and to have this occur after an otherwise distinguished career with our department is regretful," said Police Chief Brett Railey. "However, regardless of the individual and years of service, statements of this type are unacceptable in order to maintain the public's trust."

    Railey said Johnson has not had any racially-motivated complaints against him.

    Johnson was not fired. Instead, he was allowed to retire with full benefits.

    Was it a remark about all blacks, or just the thug sub culture?

    Not much context, not any context actually.
    What comment is he responding too?
    Who are "they".

    My curiosity...who the heck was he talking to?

    LMAO!

    Go watch the video and observe how this guy is treated as the very worst that society has to offer. Watch how the media folk shake their heads and frown, as one lady who's interviewed recites her obligatory PC statements, as a black dude gets an opportunity to humbly and righteously state that this guy is ignorant.

    He should have said they would need gov't entitlements for life. Soft racism is safe racism.
