Cop might be fired for calling Carl Crawford a ''monday''

[d2bets]

Am I the only one who'd never heard of this term as a slur?

Nope, never heard of it myself. Live around Atlanta as well so there are plenty of blacks and plenty fo racist rednecks. Figured I had heard most of them.

[ronald]

If this thread teaches us anything it's that most of you drones don't leave your pad enough. Monday is a common racial slur. Get out from behind your computers and get involved in your community and where you work.

[jetsjets1028]

Cops don't get paid nearly enough. Most are good guys. They put their lives on the line everyday and chance never seeing their families again only to be crapped on, disrespected, and ridiculed by people that would cower if they ever had to spend a day in their shoes.

To make a villain out of a veteran officer who may have heckled a player at a sporting event is a disgrace. This ultra PC, knee-jerk reactionary public and the American news media are absolutely sickening. Also, whoever reported this officer for the silly term he uttered is a bitch.

[SBR Lou]

How is monday a derogatory word for the blacks, they said its a term that describes the least liked WORK day?

The officer would have been better off calling the player a ******* asshole.

[Hurls]

Is "Monday" a derogatory term only for blacks?

Or would it mean the exact same thing if someone shouted it at a white player?

Never heard this term/slang before.

a comedian did a big piece on it and it went over well and ever since then Monday atleast in Boston thats where I am from is a used form of racial slurs for blacks

Seems he wasn't that smart.

Actually hammerhead, I come from a family of law enforcement and I know what it's like to fear a knock on the door. Cops don't get enough respect, for a guy to be investigated for "heckling" at a sporting event while off-duty seemingly confirms that. Setting all of that aside, he allegedly called him..... "monday"....

What am I missing here?

[MatI]

What am I missing here?

Quite a lot.

[SBR Lou]

Quite a lot.

Fill me in, then. Let's pretend this incident occurred say, while the officer was on-duty, and perhaps didn't involve heckling an athlete. What's so repugnant about the term "monday" that would warrant dismissal from a career?

[Dutch]

He was yelling a locally used racial slur...It's all here in the thread.

the above explains why this mod gave me an infraction for calling a murderer an A-N-I-M-A-L

Have you actually read this thread, or read what happened? You might not know what the term Monday means, but the officer most certainly did.

Members of my family are in the police force as well. I understand cops have a dangerous, shitty job. But that doesn't give him the right to be a c*nt.

[Inspirited]

lol just proves my point that the USA is a garbage country

europe > usa

can you be put in prison in some european countries for having different views regarding the history of what germans did to jews during WWII?

just an example

just sayin why this doesn't make europe > usa

Why do you think an off-duty cop should be held to such impossibly high standards that heckling at a sports event is grounds to perhaps be terminated and lose his pension? It's like the expectation is for an off-duty cop to conduct himself like the President of the US. You serious here? People cry over their sports teams losing, they get into meaningless fights with other fans and occasionally hurl expletives, and in this case, a day of the week, toward athletes.

Is it really that big of a deal? Did he in any way abuse his authority by heckling an athlete while off-duty? Did anyone even realize this was an officer of the law (besides the whistle-blower) and therefore expect him to behave in a manner "becoming of an officer" as the report cites?

I don't give a fukk if I get banned......Obama is a 100% fukkin Monday.

[Chi_archie]

like 5:30 am MONDAY full of meetings and deadlines after a day of over drinking, gambling, fighting with your spouse, losing and chasing on the sunday night game all in and losing again.... and the monday night game got canceled due to hurricane or snow caving in the roof!!!!!

that kinda MONDAY

if the foker would show his birth certificate it would surely show he was conceived on and given birth on a MONDAY!!!!

I think it is very harsh. But i'm not the one trying to claim his comments were just 'heckling'. It is a little more severe then that. With you still calling his insult just a 'day of the week' shows you are just being deliberately obtuse. You may be too simple to know what the insult means, but it is obvious the cop new exactly what it means.

A cop will always be held to account if he does something which turns into negative press. I don't set the rules, it is just the way it is. And if you actually read the news articule you would see it isn't the first time he has made racist remarks. Seems it is three strikes and your out.

I am happy to hear this police officer got fired. And I have a ton of respect for law enforcement as well.

Anyone rationalizing and defending the police officer's behavior (i.e. indirectly calling a black man a "n****r") is a first-rate douchebag.

Did not you say in the other thread that you don't have a "racist bone in your body"?

Yeah, it is a big deal to me actually. Racism has no place in a civil society. Police officers are role models and should be looked up to. The officer in question also has a history of racism. Oh, that's right, he was just "heckling" a ball player. And the whistle-blower by the way was Carl Crawford.

Me neither.

of course he is

the vast majorty of sbr is racist

and it's because they blame blacks on the garbage picks they make

they get buried 95/100 of the time and blame it on the black players

they are pure garbage

Believe it or not, SBR use to be a much more serious forum back when it first started. It's since disintegrated to almost exclusively political talk where conservative posters (who hold the minority opinion by the way) scream so loud and repeat the same nonsense assertions over and over no matter how irrational it is to anyone and everyone. A lot of guys on here believe Obama was born in Kenya or Indonesia and think he is a socialist even though they haven't the faintest clue what socialism is and completely ignore the fact that Obama is your basic cardboard conservative Democrat who represents the same institutions that promote war, poverty,oppression, and economic inequality as their Republican heroes do. You can't really talk with people like that.

My advice to the more enlightened posters on here is to just ignore them and take amusement in their ignorance.
