    Cop might be fired for calling Carl Crawford a ''monday''
    A Massachusetts police officer was put on paid leave Wednesday after an internal investigation found that he directed a racial slur at Boston Red Sox outfielder Carl Crawford.


    LEOMINSTER, Mass. -- A Massachusetts police officer was put on paid leave Wednesday after an internal investigation found that he directed a racial slur at Boston Red Sox outfielder Carl Crawford.
    Officer John Perrault was suspended pending a disciplinary hearing scheduled for next week at which he could face more severe punishment, and even could be fired, Leominster mayor Dean Mazzarella and police chief Robert Healey said.



    Perreault engaged in conduct unbecoming an officer, according to the chief and mayor.
    The officer, who is white, was placed on desk duty after the July 5 incident. He was described as a veteran officer with no prior disciplinary problems.

    Perrault was off duty and attending a minor league game in Manchester, N.H.
    Witnesses said a heckling fan called Crawford, who is black, a "monday" before a game between the New Hampshire Fisher Cats and Portland Sea Dogs. Crawford said he interpreted the word as a racial slur.
    "It surprised me he was a police officer," said Crawford, who admitted he is attempting to move on from the incident. "It's disappointing in all that kind of stuff. I just want to put that stuff behind me and not worry about that stuff anymore."

    The word can be used as a derogatory term for blacks, and is often associated with Mondays being one of the least-liked days of the week.
    Crawford was playing for the Double-A Sea Dogs while rehabilitating a wrist injury. Crawford alerted stadium officials to the remark, and team management apologized.
    "I don't know how I really feel about it," Crawford said. "It was disappointing that it had to happen. It's just one of those things you've got to let go."
    Leominster police reached out to Crawford as part of their investigation but did not talk to him, Mazzarella said. The mayor and chief also issued an apology to Crawford.
    "You would think we would have grown past that kind of stuff," Crawford said. "Hopefully that's the last time something like that happens."

    Crawford returned to action for the Red Sox on Monday night against the Chicago White Sox.


    When did we all become complete pussies?

              unreal.

              guy puts his life on the line for years protecting and serving with no prior problems, goes to a game on his OFF-DUTY time and buys a ticket I assume and uses his freedom of speech to maybe call a guy a day of the week????

              and he might lose his job? cuz some people tattled and there were investigations?

              same country where Jerry Sandusky had free reign on young butt-holes for 4-5 decades? and the same country where OJ Simpson didn't go to jail for killing two people?

              awesome

                My guess is the guy is a die hard Sox fan is pissed Crawford isn't living up to his contract even a tiny bit.

                Kind of like how Latroy Hawkins and Jacque Jones always bitched about racism in Chicago.

                We weren't booing you because you were black Jacque Jones and Latroy Hawkins... we were booing you because you were paid millions to cost the Cubs game after game after game with your embarrassing play.

                    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.

                        Milton has a diagnosed mental disability so I gave him more slack.

                        Latroy Hawkins cost the Cubs the playoffs though with his refusal to throw anything but a fastball right down the middle of the plate at anything but 94 MPH.

                          new to me...


                          but then again... hard to ever imagine a police officer calling ANYONE A MEAN NAME.........

                          don't worry about on duty cops committing all sorts of crimes and and even killing handcuffed people....

                          let's clean up the force, one sporting event heckler at a time

                            If that is really a racial slur, it isn't a very creative one. Monday is a working day. Isn't it a stereotype that blacks don't work? So it doesn't add up for me. Oh well, the most surprising part of this story is that Crawford tattled. Move on, in Cincy I heard some guys calling Barry Bonds the N word a decade ago. I don't think he cried about it.

                                  The premise of the slur is that blacks hate asians and whites hate hispanics and jews and blah blah blah...but the common denominator is that among all races, EVERYONE hates the blacks so they are like Mondays - the most dreaded day of the week.

                                  Stupid Mondays

                                        I think that Obama should ban the word now in support of Crawford's tribulations. Change it to Funday.

                                                  Mondays - 1.Noun: A slang term for black people. Because no one likes the Mondays. Used by lower to middle class white people to mask their racism. Usually used in the upper north of the United States.

                                                    guy puts his life on the line for years protecting and serving with no prior problems, goes to a game on his OFF-DUTY time and buys a ticket I assume and uses his freedom of speech to maybe call a guy a day of the week????

                                                    and he might lose his job? cuz some people tattled and there were investigations?

                                                    same country where Jerry Sandusky had free reign on young butt-holes for 4-5 decades? and the same country where OJ Simpson didn't go to jail for killing two people?

                                                    awesome
                                                    All part of a plan that's working.

                                                    Good luck stopping it.
