Klan Poster Found In Officer's Locker
 |
And now the story: The police department is investigating an officer who had a poster that said "Blue by day, White by night" in his locker. He wasn't a Penn State fan; this was a poster symbolizing a cop by day and a Klan member by night.
Scott Schweizer says the poster wasn't his -- again, white supremacists are pretty stupid by definition, but could this guy be dumb enough to bring a Klan poster into work? -- and he's been moved from undercover narcotics to a desk job at the Roundhouse. Investigators are now exploring whether this little good old fashioned police racism is limited to just this poster; the new commish says it looks like it's just limited to this one officer.
The Daily News reports Schweizer "has arrested countless drug suspects in predominantly African-American neighborhoods." By the way, 78 percent of those arrested for marijuana offenses in Philly in 2006 were black.

Fixed. Thanks, 207. (First three numbers of your IP address; you should just use that as your name.)

Interesting idea. Sounds like I'm a secret agent or something, maybe one who spies on former Fumo girlfriends... hmmm, not bad.

Oi - A quick Google search of "philadelphia racist cop" is depressing...

Is that the actual poster, btw?

Nah, it's apparently just a hardcore album cover. I just didn't want to use the Daily News South Park-style graphic.

Come on, dmac, haven't you gotten to the back of the Daily News yet? What are you waiting for?

dmac typo alert: it should be "blue by day, white by night" and not vice versa.
