No Matter What His Motivation Might Have Been, This Is Just Wrong
ATLANTA—A white Cobb County police lieutenant has been moved to administrative duty for telling a white woman during a traffic stop, “Remember, we only shoot Black people.”
I have little doubt that was what the officer intended, Tal, but killing Blacks can never be a fit topic for humour. And this comes from me, a person who enjoys dark humour.
In today's social climate it could easily be meant as a sick joke ("dark humor", "gallows humor", like so).
