I mean, if she did, she just called all black people felons.
An African-American Chicago Police officer contends that a rule barring cops from associating with criminals discriminates against black officers.
The officer argues the rule is more restrictive on black officers because of the disproportionate number of African Americans who have had contact with the criminal justice system.
Last month, a supervisor warned Officer Sylvia Broadway she might have violated department rules — asking if she knew that a man driving her car was a convicted felon.
Broadway, a 13-year veteran in the Wentworth District, said she was unaware the man was a felon until she asked him later.
The department is enforcing a “policy that appears to have bias overtones against a specific racial group, namely African Americans,” she said to the supervisor in a memo. “It is as though a deliberate trap has been set for African-American police officers.”
Sorry whiny cop bitch, the bias is against FELONS. If you can’t see the difference between a black person and a felon, then maybe you’re in the wrong profession.
Of course, being black, she gets away with this accusation like no one outside of her race could. The rule keeping cops and felons separated except, of course, when the officer is officially on duty, works against all races equally. It was there before the incarceration of large numbers of black folks and will be there after the problem eventually subsides. Notice how I am optimistic where she is not.
If she doesn’t like this rule, she has the option of choosing her felon friends over her job.
It’ll be interesting to see which option survives the cut.
