SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Seven San Francisco police officers accused of sending racist and homophobic text messages have been suspended, and the police chief has recommended that they be fired.
Chief Greg Suhr announced Friday that he has asked a police oversight committee to approve firing the officers. Six others face disciplinary actions that include reassignment to positions that don't have contact with the public. Another officer tied to the investigation already has resigned.
The text messages "are of such despicable thinking that those responsible clearly fall below the minimum standards required to be a police officer," Suhr said in a statement.

You’d think by now people would wise up to the ramifications of texting, FB and cameras.
A better question is, would Suhr and Bob Lee suspend an ethnic Chinese officer if he made a racist slur in Mandarin?
In the obamanation everything is racist. “What’s up lol? Is racist hate speech from the white patriarchy.
Especially cops who use these tactics to track down and build cases on criminals.
What do some people call cops? Time for reverse discrimination!
But raid the wrong house and terrorize a family and ....nothing
Killing people will get covered up and you stay on the force.
Wrong SWAT address raid killing people and dogs, you’re still on the force.
Text messages that may be offensive to gays, gets you fired.
Whack job world.
1984 just arrived a few decades late.
Pretty sure the Chief of Police is a butt ugly Asian Lesbian, not that there is anything wrong with that.
They are not published as the leftists currently in control of our political institutions are terrified that resistance would spread and grow. Note the faint resistance across the country; i.e. police, students, small business, churches etc. The left has worked long and hard for their conquest and will not simply say “oh Fie we were wrong!”
‘Would love to find out what those text messages said.....’
Uh, ‘Gorillas in the Mists’?
exactly, they should be suspended for being idiots, but expelled for their racist marks
There’s too little information in this article to know if this is a valid suspension.
DAC - She was the one a few years ago (2006-ish). She was in my small, all-girls’ Catholic high school though several years ahead of me, yikes :)
Free speech, where fore art thou?
I’m still waiting for these racist do-gooders to make the likes of Spike Lee, Ophra Winfrey, Jamie Foxx, Al Sharpton, ‘Rev’ Wright, Jesse Jackson, Shiela Lee, Eric Holder, Barbara Boxer, et. al., face the fire as well.
When will someone expose these scum for the rabble rousing racists that they are?
