North Carolina officers fired over racist remarks, 89 incidents now under review

Three North Carolina officers were fired over remarks they made, with one saying he was "ready" for a second "civil war." Now, 89 cases in which the officers were involved are under review for bias, according to the local district attorney.

Donny Williams, Wilmington's first black police chief, said he fired the three officers on his first day in the role.

"These individuals do not deserve to be in law enforcement," he told CBS News' David Begnaud.

An internal investigation at the Wilmington Police Department accused veteran officers Kevin Piner, James "Brian" Gilmore and Corporal Jessie Moore of violating standards of conduct and using inappropriate slurs after a routine video audit of Piner's patrol car caught racially-charged conversations in which they repeatedly used the n-word.

Ever been to Wilmington, NC?
The use of the word is appropriate.

That said, how did they not know they were being recorded?
Or do they just not GAF?...

But a black person can say some white people may have to die and apparently keep his job.

“If they fire me I don’t think it goes very well for them.”

... he’s “confused on why that’s so controversial.”

There is a direct line between douchebags like this guy and those who feel the need to opine that they won’t godown without a fight.

I’ve lived in Wilmington for more then 10 years.
it’s a nice community.

the Cops need to learn that they are recorded 24/7 and just shut up when it comes to sensitive topics.

Hands off the Cops!

Leave the Police alone, let them do their job.

Get off the anti Cop band wagon.

Who cares what they said...... BFD! Grow UP!

I was clearly in a different part.
We broke down and had to stay at a hotel.
We walked to a gas station, and when we went in,
they said “Look, White people” and laughed.

“Most likely the place where they file an employment application.”

It would lead to some very tough questions in their next 125 unsuccessful job interviews.
