WOLFEBORO, N.H. —A New Hampshire police commissioner who used a racial slur in describing President Barack Obama has verbally resigned to the chairman of the Wolfeboro Police Commission.
Robert Copeland, 82, had been facing intense pressure to resign after a resident complained about overhearing him use the N-word in a restaurant.
Copeland acknowledged that he used the slur but refused to apologize or step down.
Town and state officials -- along with some national figures, such as Mitt Romney, who has a home in Wolfeboro -- had condemned the remark, and more than 100 residents packed a Police Commission meeting last week to demand Copeland's resignation.
Copeland had been re-elected to a three-year term in March. Officials said resignation was the only way to get him out of office before the end of his term because the state has no recall provision for elected officials.
After stories about the slur spread nationwide, town officials and the police department were flooded with phone calls from people saying they would boycott the town, a popular summer destination, until Copeland resigned.
“...beating a conservative to the ground...”
Hard to do when you’re shot full of holes and bleeding out.
True...but not enough people carry concealed, have situational awareness, and know how to wind a gunfight + keep quiet after the smoke clears :(
Narcissus
Too bad for them, then.
That’s why I train folks. All gunfolk should be training others.
I hope he realizes that resignation isn’t going to be enough. They’re going after his pension and personal property next.

Doesn't Willard have an Olympics he can run somewhere????
Don’t forget “The Artificial Nigger” by Flannery O’Connor.
Tommy Lasorda wants to run him down with a car.
when growing up in the 40’s there was a black man that lived down the road,he had a black dog named nigger,you should have heard calling his dog,nobody thought anything about it.
Instead of saying Obummer is a N——er
He should have said: Obummer is a 1/2 N——er
Then he would have been OK!
It’s a good word... as long as it’s not being applied anywhere near the vicinity of you... :^)
And still no mention of his party? Hmmm

Why do you say that?
“I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” J.B. Books (John Wayne- The Shootist)
In this day and age for a high-profile (for a small town) official to use that term in public is stupid. We’ve learned recently that you have to be very careful what you say. Especially when it comes to this subject.
