Ohio Officer Wishes For Slavery And The 'Extermination' Of All Blacks --

Then Blames 'Immaturity'

An auxiliary officer with the Fairview Park Police Department, who had written that black people should be "exterminated," resigned from the force last week.

The Cleveland Scene first reported that Aaron McNamara had a position as a volunteer officer as he finished his college degree and prepared for a full-time job on the force. But those plans were derailed when comments he had made on the Internet over the last two years came to light.

According to the Scene, McNamara like to hang out in the YouTube comment area, where he was caught "regularly dropping racial and gay slurs, unambiguously expressing hatred towards minorities and anyone who dare not comply with what police say."

For example, "jungle monkeys" and "spooks" were some of the milder slurs the officer used for African-Americans.

"Abolishing slavery was the worst thing we could have done," McNamara opined. "These people should be exterminated.. Unbelievable."

"The comments I made in those particular videos were a product of my youth and immaturity; by no means am I a prejudice [SIC] individual," he declared. "I am an advocate for equality, and I am highly disappointed in myself for the statements I had previously made. I cannot recollect the most recent comment I was accused of making in February 2014, but I am not denying the claim."

>>When the Scene initially confronted McNamara about the social media message, he insisted that it must have been another person with the same name.

"I'm not the only Aaron McNamara in this world," he asserted.

But minutes later, McNamara had made his Twitter account private, he shut down his Instagram account, and deactivated his YouTube and Google+ pages.<<



He's also a liar. And a cowardly one at that.

If they've already asked you about it, trying to hide it, isn't going to help you.

is that you know how to hide Neo-Nazi sentiments, even if you fully intend to implement them on the job.

There is not a thing I could write on this website - that I actually believe - that would be inciting hatred against cops the way McNamara has.

His statements color all cops with a broad brush. As a (former) cop, he represents cops.

So when he calls for exterminating an entire race of people, he is representing cops as genocidal maniacs.

Lots of cops do this running their mouth racist, murderous rage shit online, and then cry because people hate them.

Fucking clueless dreg of society right there.

And when the cops found out he was a racist, they didn't hire him.

The system worked here.
