Racist Police Chief Caught Teaching Police Candidates to ‘Kill Black People’

An assistant police chief who was being investigated for ties to pedophilia, resigned after private Facebook messages were made public that outed him as a racist.

Racist Cop Quits After Facebook Post Saying He’d Drown His Daughter If She Dated a “Negro”

Estherwood, LA – The assistant chief of police for the Estherwood Police Department has resigned after coming under public scrutiny after sharing a racist meme on Facebook that went viral. After initially attempting to defend his actions on the social media website, the officer reportedly submitted his resignation on Tuesday night.

Tendering a resignation before disciplinary action can be taken is a common tactic among police, as it allows their record to remain untarnished, thus being able to continue operating as a police officer in another municipality – with their new employers being none the wiser as to their previous heinous actions.

The incident was first reported on Monday by KATC, which refused to identify the officer in question due to him having not been charged with a crime. Thankfully, social media stepped up to the plate, as a Twitter user going by @Freeyourmindkid found, and posted, incriminating screenshots of officer Wayne Welsh’s Facebook page.

The racist post featured a caption stating, “When your daughters [sic] first crush is a little Negro boy,” with a picture of a white woman forcing a little girl’s head underwater in the bathtub.

Welsh attempted to delete the post — while making numerous other posts in reference to the original post – which were subsequently shared as screenshots by Twitter users.

Welsh reportedly posted an apology at 5 p.m. Monday, according to KATC.

“Well, I posted something on Facebook that made a lot of people mad,” he wrote. “Well, I’m sorry for what happen. Ya have a blessed day.”

Revealing his disconnect from reality, Welsh reportedly posted about the “race card” and how people want to say he’s a “bad guy,” according to KATC.

“I shared somebody else’s posts and everybody mad at me again,” he wrote. “So Facebook police mad at me.”

A short time later Welsh backtracked and offered an apology:

“Well, I’m sorry for what happen. Ya [sic] have a blessed day.”

It seems as if Welsh is completely oblivious to the fact that sharing racist memes, when you are an officer of the law, who is supposed to apply the law equally to all people, regardless of race, creed, religion, or color, denotes that you likely lack the ability to treat people equally in your interactions as an officer – and that you most likely harbor racist views towards black people in particular.

Chief Ernest Villejoin Sr. spoke with Welsh by phone Tuesday morning, according to KATC. Villejoin noted that although Welsh had apologized, he could not allow Welsh’s actions to taint his department, and apologized for the racist post shared by Welsh.

“When I found out about it, I couldn’t believe I had to call him. I called him at work and asked him what the hell is going on,” Villejoin told local news outlet KADN. “He done it. He said it and he realized what he had done after he done it and he deleted it but it was too late.”

Villejoin, confirmed Wednesday that Welsh had resigned and said the “situation has been taken care of,” according to the Huffington Post. Estherwood City Hall also attempted to distance itself from the situation, writing on Facebook Monday that it had no control over employment at the police department.

Cop Makes Racist Video Saying “Black People Met Their Match” — NOT Fired

Boston, MA — Boston Police Department has suspended one of its own for six months without pay, followed by six months of probation, and forced “unconscious bias counseling.” However, based on what he did, he should never come near a badge or public service ever again.

Joseph DeAngelo Jr., an officer with over 4 years on the force was disciplined following an investigation into a video he produced and passed around to his friends, a video which the department concluded to be racist.

DeAngelo says he made the spoof video to poke fun at his fellow officer Dennis Leahy. However, once the video was seen by the public, they quickly, and rightfully so became outraged.

“This summer, black people have met their match.” DeAngelo asserted in the video.

Here’s a look at the video. You decide if it’s racist.

According to the Boston Herald, DeAngelo is remorseful, and Police Commissioner William B. Evans, by not firing him, is standing by his officer, who’s reportedly accepted full responsibility for his actions. However, if he accepted full responsibility, he would have found a new line of work.

The Herald said Evans called DeAngelo’s actions “clearly insensitive and immature behavior” that called for “significant sensitivity” and unconscious bias retraining and community service. The reprimanded officer will also not be allowed to moonlight as an officer during his suspension.

The Police Commission said, “It was clear from Officer DeAngelo’s interview that he feels significant remorse for his actions and now realizes the impact this video has had on our community.” He added, “Officer DeAngelo readily admitted to the conduct and has fully taken responsibility for his actions.”

Again, by keeping his job, he accepted absolutely no responsibility.

While the Boston Police Department did take action against one of their own who’ve violated departmental policies, it highlights the double standard of police discipline. Departments all across the country refuse to punish officers who’ve committed much more serious felonies and misdemeanors.

All too often, police officers are given a slap on the wrist when they break the law. Even juries are swayed by the badge, often ending deadlocked in cases where an individual citizen would have had the book thrown at them so to speak.

In May, a jury in the trial of Fort Worth police officer Courtney Johnson was hopelessly deadlocked in a case where Johnson shot a man holding a barbeque fork. Craig Adams was shot while standing in his own driveway after police were called to investigate a prowler. The judge in the case declared a mistrial and the prosecutor is unsure if they’ll attempt to retry Johnson.

And in June, Ray Tensing endured a second trial which also ended with a hung jury in the shooting death of Samuel DeBose. Tensing shot and killed DeBose after he attempted to flee in his vehicle. Tensing claimed he feared for his life after shooting DeBose in the head, an action caught on Tensing’s body camera footage.

As was previously stated, the Boston PD is punishing a racist cop, but they are letting him back on the force where he will continue to hold power over those ‘black people’ he claims ‘have met their match.’ Years from now, it is likely that DeAngelo will kill an unarmed black man and when this instance is brought back up, those of us in the police accountability movement will give the department a big fat, “I told you so.”
