What I picked up was a sarcastic comment that would undoubtedly get your ass fired in any other position with a PR aspect. Is the officer overtly racist in his work? Maybe, maybe not, but we don't accept much short of perfect when it comes to policing. There's never a time for snark as a cop, especially when you add hot-button issues to the picture.

it may very well have been a "joke" but it really speaks volumes about the mindset and culture of the officer when he even considered it as a response let alone manages to let it slip past his internal filters to actually say it.
