They should be fired for stupid, if nothing else. What did they expect to happen when they did such a foolish thing?

Why, because the "Deer" is black?

Could it be three buddy's screwing around having a good time not caring about what freakin color they are?

What if one of the posed shooters was the black guy?

Why is it the fact that one guy is black even noticed?

They should be fired....really??

Exactly. Had he been Indian or Asian, it would have caused the same sort of uproar.

If there are three such photos with each man taking a turn as the "deer", then I would say "sure." But since the only photo extant is that of the Black guy playing the deer, I would have to say "not bloody likely."

What if one of the posed shooters was the black guy?

Then they would have successfully immunized themselves from backlash. They didn't.

Why is it the fact that one guy is black even noticed?

Give me a break. I have had a lot of black friends, and one thing that I can say is nearly universal among them is Black sensitivity to the appearance of racism. Not all, but the vast majority of them *LOOK* for it in every situation or occurrence. To them there IS no innocuous portrayal of blacks in a subservient or less than human role, especially one in which it is obvious they were treated like a hunted animal.

They should be fired....really??

What good would they be in a Black Neighborhood if people recognized them? How would they do their jobs? They would likely cause crime, not alleviate it.

You want a job as a cop? Don't lend yourself to things which make the job harder, if not impossible. Apparently the board agreed.
