Disgusting racial incident in Grosse Point, Michigan
This breaks my heart. I feel for the poor guy and am absolutely appalled cops like this exist. I apologize in advance if this is a duplicate. I didn't see it.



NewsOne previously reported, several police officers from the Grosse Pointe Park Police Department in Michigan are being accused of filming Blacks in humiliating situations and sharing the videos for their own twisted amusement.

Now one of the men, Scipio (pictured), who is mentally challenged and allegedly made to sing and dance like a chimp in one of the videos, spoke to My Fox Detroit about the scandal.

The 55-year-old man, who lives in a boarding house, told the news outlet that he has no recollection as to when the video was filmed. He makes his living collecting cans in the ritzy Detroit suburb and claims he runs into police frequently. Scipio, whose speech is affected and has some cognitive issues as well, told Fox 2 Detroit that he was unaware he was the subject of the officers’ amusement and actually thought they were his friends.

“They made me look like a fool, humiliated me,” he said.

10. I agree. No surprise.

Those cops probably listen to both Ted Nugent and Rush Limbaugh.

6. Almost all cops are FOX 'news' watching, Limbaugh listening Republicans

At least that's what the Republican, former police commander that I work with tells me.

Do the math.

4. The KKK has traded their white hoods for blue caps in some cities, this is disgusting

Funny that the DUmmies stopped calling the victim "alleged".  Where are the hard numbers Cali?

What they have still failed to acknowledge is that the offending cop is black.

Maybe by reading this, they'll find out.

Waiting for their reaction...

Have a link?  I'm looking for a name or a pic of the cop. All I can find is "unnamed man" and nothing about his race.

I did find:

Protesters say Scipio was targeted because he is African American. All of the department’s officers are white.
