Remember the U.S. Constitution? Remember the First Amendment? Those were good times, weren't they?

Boston Police: Cop Used Racial Slur In Gates Email
BOSTON (WBZ)

Boston Police moved to fire an officer after he allegedly sent out a mass e-mail that contained a racial slur to refer to Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.

Officer Justin Barrett, a two-year veteran, is accused of calling Gates a "jungle monkey" in the e-mail, the Boston Herald reports.

Sources tell WBZ-TV that Barrett sent the mass e-mail to some of his comrades in the National Guard.

Police officials say Commissioner Ed Davis immediately placed the 36-year-old officer on administrative leave pending a termination hearing after the officer admitted to being responsible for the e-mail.

Barrett has been stripped of his gun and badge.

Barrett is assigned to District B-3 where he patroled the Mattapan/North Dorchester area [niggerville] around Blue Hill Avenue. He has no prior history of being disciplined. He is also a member of the National Guard.

I grew up in America--a land that few people seem to remember any more. America was a land that so strongly believed in the rights of individuals and the right of personal thought and expression that the Supreme Court of that land ruled that the Ku Klux Klan had the right to march through the largely Jewish community of Skokie, Illinois, while spewing anti-semitic rhetoric.

I think it is safe to say that my previous blog could land me in prison...

Bring it fucking on!
