Officer Loses It Online, Openly Calls for the Extermination of Black People

http://filmingcops.com/officer-loses-it-online-openly-calls-for-the-extermination-of-black-people/

Officer Aaron McNamara has resigned after he was caught making highly inflammatory violent and racist statements online.

The statements were alarming because they did not appear to be mere jokes — Officer McNamara literally called for the extermination of the black race, and expressed wishes to “beat the living shit out of” what he called “jungle monkeys” and “n****r.”...

While there, he was “regularly dropping racial and gay slurs, unambiguously expressing hatred toward minorities and anyone who dare not comply with police,” reports the Cleveland Scene.

This included him expressing a wish to “beat the living shit out of that n****r,” a comment that he left under a video of what appears to be a black child.

You have to have some small degree of intelligence or ability to self-reflect in order to realize that you might be brick-stupid or an utter asshole. Without any real ability to think, it will never dawn on a piece of human sewage like this klown that he just might be a complete prick and an utter idiot who is a complete waste of oxygen that continues to fill a much-needed void.

The dumbest are unable to realize that they are dumb and/or total assholes.

60. Really, so-called "primitive" cultures tend very strongly to egalitarianism.
Sat Apr 11, 2015, 11:57 AM
Apr 2015
I surveyed almost 50 small, nonliterate cultures…to see exactly how egalitarian they were, and why. I discovered that their egalitarian political arrangements were quite deliberate. They believed devoutly in maintaining political parity among adults. This belief was so strong that males who turned into selfish bullies or even tried to boss others around for reasons useful to the group were treated brutally, as moral deviants. The fact that on all continents, hunter-gatherers faced bullies or self-aggrandizing political upstarts--and faced them in spite of these strong egalitarian beliefs--told me that if these people had not so vigilantly worked against inequality, they would have soon turned hierarchical.

If you come across as too nice, then you're a doormat who can't do the job and won't make the tough (violent) decision when your partner needs you.

This is the recurring bad judgment that toploads the regular workforce with sociopaths instead of "dithering softies" who might make eyhoval decisions.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, there are a good amount of white people in this country who want blacks exterminated.

What Michael Slager did was just another form of ethnic cleansing. Whether it's jailing blacks longer for the same crime or gunning down unarmed black people. The goal is the same.

And people think we should be worried about Islamic terrorists?

I'm more worried about American cops and racists.

FAIRVIEW PARK, Ohio – An auxiliary police officer was asked to resign Friday after the Fairview Park Police Department determined he made racially charged comments and defended slavery in the comments sections of Youtube videos, police said.

An investigation into the officer's online activity began Thursday night when Cleveland Scene writer Doug Brown called the department and said police volunteer Aaron McNamara had been posting racists comments, a Fairview Park Police Department news release said.
____________________________________________________________________________________also....
In five months, he worked a total of 45 hours for Fairview Park police, Shepard said.

Auxiliary volunteers are non-sworn officers who assist the police but have no arrest authority, he said.
