/sorry for a double post from The Superficial, but, after gazing upon Rosario as I would a gem of great size and clarity, I found this obscenity from yesterday.

If you're a cop and you use the word "nigger" while subduing anyone you need to no longer be a cop, and you need to have your wages garnished for the rest of your life for violating the civil rights act. This needs to be a federal case. Anytime, anyone, anywhere in a position of official authority beats down anyone while using racially charged epithets, he or she destroys the social contract.
You know in Louisiana there are entire parishes that black people I know do not go to because of things that happened thirty years ago - and for good cause. Because something like this is bound to happen. At the very least you run into the annoyance of being harassed for DWB through those areas.
