I demand the LA Times be immediately SHUT DOWN because of thier blatant RACIST past, for those that don’t know, Dorothy Chandler was a Self Avowed RACIST and hated black people with a passion.

They want to crucify those cops for a little harmless fun. Meantime BLM and faggots want to destroy civilization as we know it and it’s treated with a wink and a nod.

You’d think They’d have learned to not put that crap in emails and texts by now.

“The officers’ comments spared no color or creed:”

Which shows its black humor or gallows humor.

The press is awful and the investigation is terrible.

May California sink into the sea.

OH NOES! They shared memes.

Am I a bad person for laughing at a few of the examples?

Interestingly no details have been offered in the news. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

They should hear career prison guard humor.

Try dealing with criminals who know that they have more rights than you, a free, law abiding and unconvicted man, without getting a bit slap happy sometimes.

What a wonderful land-of-the-free we live in... /s

Now you cannot express, among like-minded friends, your thoughts unless they are approved of by our communist masters...

This whole thing is a crock and whatever thoughts the cops expressed in private (or public) texts or emails are no one's business but theirs...

Where, in the former Constitution, does it prohibit people's thoughts opinions or views...

The american sheeple have voted for, and agreed to, this permanent dark tyranny...
Government schools, since the 1970s, created a permanent serf class that knows only how to shuffle along in their chains (with their hands out) and:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
