Wyoming’s first (b)lack sheriff last year fired a white deputy who is accused of tormenting a (b)lack subordinate for years with racist name-calling that led him to quit, a new federal lawsuit reveals.
Albany County Patrol Sgt. Christian Handley once drove past and yelled a profanity and the N-word at Cpl. Jamin Johnson while Johnson and his wife and children were walking out of their home, according to one example of racism alleged in the discrimination lawsuit filed last week.
“Mr. Handley later apologized for having not realized that Mr. Johnson’s family was present, as if his vile racism was otherwise acceptable,” the lawsuit says.
Johnson is suing Handley, seeking a jury trial if necessary and damages for the years of racism that he says led up to his decision to quit in 2017. […]
The racism allegations come after Sheriff Aaron Appelhans’ appointment as Wyoming’s first (b)lack sheriff in the wake of an outcry in Laramie over a deputy’s 2018 shooting of an unarmed man who had been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. […]
The alleged racism against Johnson happened more than three years before Appelhans took office in late 2020, and Appelhans said Monday he wasn’t aware of it until shortly after starting the job.

Handley is a thug with a badge and you’re right that the prick needs to be fired and have his certification revoked.

“Aaron Gallegos and Christian Handley interrogated and threatened the rape victim with criminal charges for supposedly falsely reporting the rape. Both officers cited the victim’s sexual identity in their reasoning for why they thought the report was false. The federal judge assigned to the case said that Sergeant Handley didn’t appear to understand consent, and that Sheriff O’Malley signed off on his deputies’ decision to interrogate and violate the rights of a rape victim.”
So Handley violated a victim’s rights and what happens to him? He gets promoted.
That speaks volumes about the state of policing in America.

I was actually thinking of the scene where Cleavon and Gene talk about what they like.

We should always negate the racist 'style sheet' crap of capitalizing 'black' when referring to negroes and *not* capitalizing 'white' when referring to caucasians.

Yep. Replacing somebody like that with even Barney Fife would be an improvement.
It’s AP. So be assured that 90% of the articles is false, fake news, packed with lies and missing critical information.
