Racist Police Officers Fired Because of Leaked Text Messages

When Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department revealed that five of their deputies were under investigation for sending racist messages, few imagined that it would be as bad as what the department released.
Sheriff Phil Plummer revealed that Sheriff’s Captain Thomas J. Flanders and Detective Michael J. Sollenberger were both placed on indefinite administrative leave, from the Ohio department, after someone leaked dozens of racist text messages they had been sending to each other and three other deputies.

Captain Flanders was the head of the Montgomery County Jail, where many allegations of racism and discriminatory treatment of inmates has been common throughout the years.

Sollenberger, for his part, has been involved in internal affairs, which would in fact be the unit which investigated such allegations… See how that works?

Sollenberger was also a member of the Montgomery County SWAT team.

The messages, sent between November 2011 and January 2013 made direct derogatory references to Black deputies and citizens.

“The word Nigger was used several times as well as other racial slurs and jokes,” Plummer explained.

“Racism will not be tolerated in this office.”

Some of these text messages include statements like: “What do apples and black people have in common? They both hang from trees.”

“I hate Niggers. That is all,” the two suspended cops said to one another..

“Very simply put, they’re Niggers, son,” another deputy texted.

The messages were leaked by an anonymous source, who contacted the Dayton chapter of the NAACP.

The group then made the sheriff aware of the situation, back in August 2014.

Sheriff Plummer said that the deputies “did not apologize.” Now he has released a statement that both officers have had their employment with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department terminated.

The three other deputies involved in the racist text exchanges will be suspended, Plumber says, because they “admitted their mistakes.”

Deputy Joseph Connelly was suspended for 30 days without pay for unethical conduct. Deputy Jamie Horton has been suspended 10 days for unethical conduct. Finally, Sergeant Brian Lewis was suspended for three days, due to having only had one racist text exchange with the now terminated deputies..

FOX NEWS HOST REFUSES TO BOARD PLANE WITH BLACK FEMALE PILOT

By Anonymous -
conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter has lost her mind! She refused to stay on board a Miami to New York flight after learning the pilot was a Black woman. According to witnesses, Coulter was concerned the experienced, decorated pilot may have gained her position as a result of affirmative action and wasn’t fully qualified to fly. The incident began when Coulter boarded the American Airlines flight and took up her first class seat. After a trip to the bathroom, she noticed the pilot was a black woman and became immediately distraught. According to passengers, at that point Coulter stood at the front of the cabin and began screaming her concerns to the entire flight as they finished boarding. “Aw come on people, a black woman flying a plane? You know she got that job through affirmative action. Am I the only one worried about this? I mean hello? Our lives are at stake here…” The confused passengers weren’t sure what to make of Coulter’s outburst, and rema...

After pouring thousands of dollars into her decrepit house, Tocco Collins made the heartbreaking discovery that she had been seriously scammed. The mother of 12 had waited patiently for her landlords to deliver on their promises to fix the house’s holes, broken windows and burned out light box, CBS Atlanta reports. But after seven months, Collins learned that the phonies she had been paying $600 a month in rent didn’t own the home and had also skipped town. The actual owner had no idea her home was being rented out. “Step by step, I’m trying to make some effort,” Collins told the news outlet. “Right now I’m lost.” The Atlanta mother and her children are now homeless. They’re also at risk of getting broken up by child services, a devastating fate that do-gooders are trying to prevent.
