English Cops Punished For "Racism"

Police in Hertfordshire, England are in trouble for circulating an email originating in the USA that shows a criminal getting himself decapitated on railings after jumping from an overpass while attempting to evade arrest. After an investigation that went on for five months, eight sergeants were treated to formal reprimands, and seven civilian supervisors received final written warnings for distributing the series of images, which were fittingly entitled "Do not run from the police."

Why the fuss? Ostensibly they had breached the department's Internet security policy. The real reason: the criminal who lost his head was black. According to Deputy Chief Constable Simon Ash, this could be "perceived as being racist."

Bellowed Keith Jarrett, president of the Black Police Association:

I don't think a robust enough sanction has been taken against the officers concerned, especially the supervisory ones.

The officers should have taken a clue from every lawn jockey in the world getting its face painted white. If only they had photoshopped the pictures to make pretend the perp was Caucasian, all of this trouble could have been avoided.

On a tip from Harry L.
