Channel 2 Action News has learned that the Cobb County Police Department will discipline a police officer accused of telling an African-American driver he didn't care about "your people." During a Nov. 16 traffic stop, Officer Maurice Lawson traded words with a driver. According to police, at the end of the traffic stop, Lawson could be heard saying, “Please go away to Fulton County.

What happened before he said that statement? I can easily envision that the driver went off about “why you harassing me? why you harassing my people”?

Sensitivity, diversity, training? George Orwell called it Thought Control.

As expected, the BLM thugs in and out government, and the MSM arranged to have what the thug or thugess had to say during the stop. Baiting cops is a cultural game with the American Africans.

No, cops should NOT have to bear unlimited abuse from the subhumans.

Utterly ridiculous.

They’re trying to turn the 2 words, YOU PEOPLE, into Trayvon, who incidentally was a burglar.

NOT working.

Maybe the guy who was pulled over was an absolute angel who did nothing, nothing at all, to deserve that from the officer!/s

Was Schoolbus Ray Nagin drummed out as New Orleans mayor by letting everyone know it was “Chocolate City” (i.e., belonged to blacks)?

True, but.... they should be adult/mature/professional enough to not react stupidly to verbal "abuse".

I would like to hear one, when accused of racist/bigoted activity, respond, "Since none of that is happening, I have to assume you are suffering delusions. I'm taking you into protective custody for a mental evaluation."
