Frank is exposed.

"Field, why aren't you blogging about that police chief in South Jersey who compared Negroes to Isis?"   

I am doing it now.

Honestly, though, I am not as outraged as some other folks. I happen to be really cynical when it comes to racism.  I wouldn't be surprised if Mrs. Claus and Santa drop the n word to each other when they talk about having to deliver toys to little black children. I expect that type of behavior from certain folks, so when they are exposed I am never surprised.

The following case comes from South Jersey,  not South Carolina

" Frank Nucera Jr. was the police chief in the small township of Bordentown, N.J., until he abruptly retired in February 2017 after investigators began looking into what authorities said was his history of racially motivated violence and hate speech. Nucera came under scrutiny after an 18-year-old accused him of bashing his head into a doorway and officers recorded him calling black suspects the n-word

William E. Fitzpatrick, acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey, called Nucera’s actions “a shocking breach of the duty of every police officer to provide equal justice under the law and never to mistreat a person in custody.”

Much of the evidence in the complaint comes from secret recordings made by one of Nucera’s fellow officers who was “increasingly alarmed by [Nucera’s] racist remarks and hostilities toward African Americans,” he said.

As officers walked the couple to the patrol car, Nucera grabbed the young man and slammed his head into a metal doorjamb, even though, the complaint points out, the young man “was not kicking or struggling.” The 18-year-old complained that he might have a concussion but didn’t want to go to the hospital after Nucera miraculously cured the young man by hitting him again in the back of the neck, according to the complaint. A few hours later, a police officer recorded Nucera making comments about the suspects and about black people in general.

“I tell you what, it’s going to get to the point where I could shoot one of these motherfuckers,” Nucera allegedly said in the recording. “And that nigger bitch lady, she almost got it.”
The Courier-Post reports that Lucera went on to say:

I just, you know what? It would have been nice if that dog could have come up. ’Cause they would have stopped, put down.

 That dog, that dog will stop anything right then and there [makes dog sound]. I’m telling you. You’d have seen two fucking niggers stop dead. I love when they do that. I just love that.

According to the unsealed papers, Nucera had a history of using police dogs to intimidate African Americans. He reportedly enjoyed posting police dogs near the entrance of the gymnasium at high school basketball games when the mostly white town played majority-black schools to intimidate the black fans.

On another instance, the same officer who recorded Nucera after the hotel arrest taped the 60-year-old police chief talking about a black man or boy who was accused of slashing the tires of a police car.

“I wish that nigger would come back from Trenton [N.J.] and give me a reason to put my hands on him,” Nucera is quoted as saying in the secret recording. “I’m tired of ’em. These niggers are like ISIS; they have no value. They should line them all up and mow ’em down. I’d like to be on the firing squad, I could do it.” [Source]

Ignorant racist drops the n word; no harm no foul. But when you are a police chief with all types of power at your finger tips, it becomes a problem. 

There are a lot more Frank Nuceras out there. And they are only taking a cue from their president. He is the guy who is calling for the execution of a terror suspect without a trial, and who called the American justice system a "laughing stock."  Imagine that.

 An American president calling for the elimination of due process, and disparaging the system of justice we have fought so hard to make the best and most just in the world. 

I hate to break it to the president,  but his presidency is the "laughing stock."

 Lately it's been one joke after another. 

"Mind blowing decisions."

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Lindsey Graham to the race to become president of these divided sates of America.

I am having a hard time keeping up with all of the republicans who expressed a desire to lead our great nation into the past future. 

Let's see now: Marco, Rand, Jeb, Scott, Ben, Chris C, Dale, Chris, Ted, Carly, Mike, Bobby, George, Rick P, Rick S, Donald, Brian, Dennis, Chris.

Did I leave out anyone? I am sure I did. Please forgive me my republican friends, this isn't easy. That's a lot of names to remember.

I am still trying to figure out my favorite among this motley crew.

Mike?

"former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee perpetuated one of the most pervasive myths about transgender people at a convention earlier this year, suggesting that men can abuse trans-friendly laws for voyeurism in women's bathrooms.

"Now I wish that someone told me that when I was in high school that I could have felt like a woman when it came time to take showers in PE," Huckabee said in a video resurfaced on YouTube over the weekend by World Net Daily, according to a report by BuzzFeed's Megan Apper and Andrew Kaczynski. "I'm pretty sure that I would have found my feminine side and said, 'Coach, I think I'd rather shower with the girls today.'"

Nope.

Donald?

"Donald Trump doesn't think Mitt Romney can compete with his business success.
In an interview with The Des Moines Register published Monday, the real-estate mogul and TV personality dissed other wealthy men who have campaigned for president.

"I'm the most successful person ever to run for the presidency, by far. Nobody's ever been more successful than me. I'm the most successful person ever to run. Ross Perot isn’t successful like me. Romney — I have a Gucci store that’s worth more than Romney."

Nope.

Ben?

"First of all, we have to understand how the Constitution works, the president is required to carry out the laws of the land, the laws of the land come from the legislative branch. So if the legislative branch creates a law or changes a law, the executive branch has a responsibility to carry it out. It doesn't say they have the responsibility to carry out a judicial law."

"JUDICIAL LAW?! Again, no.

Carly?

"If this happens (Hillary becomes president) – I am moving to Canada,” she wrote on Facebook. “There is NO need for her as she is not the right person to run our country – but more importantly a female shouldn’t be president. Let the haters begin . . . but with the hormones we have there is no way we should be able to start a war. Yes I run my own business and I love it and I am great at it BUT that is not the same as being the President, that should be left to a man, a good, strong, honorable man.”

Yikes!

Sarah Palin, might want to consider making a comeback.  












 

Another White House snub.

I am not impressed with celebrity. I have had the opportunity to meet some pretty famous people in my life and I have spurned the opportunity to meet others. Nothing against them, their fame is not their fault. It's just that it's not in my DNA to get hyped over certain things, fame being one of them.

But then, I am not in a profession where one of the rewards for my success is meeting the president of these divided states. If it was, and I did reach that pinnacle, I doubt seriously if I would turn it down. I mean there are famous people and there are FAMOUS PEOPLE. The president of these divided states qualities as a famous person with capital letters.

Which brings me to James Harrison of the Pittsburgh Steelers. This ignoramus refuses to meet with the president of these divided states with the rest of his Steelers for the lamest of all
reasons:

"This is how I feel -- if you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don't win the Super Bowl. As far as I'm concerned, he [Obama] would've invited Arizona if they had won."

James, with all due respect, you are a fucking idiot. Not only is Barack Obama the most powerful man on earth but one could argue that he is one of the most important historical figures --even at this early stage-- in the history of these divided states. He is just not a famous person he is a famous person with capital letters. You, as a black man, should be ashamed of yourself. Where is your sense of history? (For the record, you were just as dumb to pass on meeting W with your teammates) It would have been something to tell your children and grandchildren; the fact that you visited the White House and met the first black president. Don't you get that? What a shame, all that money you make from playing ball and you can't even buy a clue.

You are not hurting the president by not accepting his invitation, you are hurting yourself. His O ness has met many famous people and he is famous himself, you taking some kind of righteous stand not to visit the White House just makes you look stupid.

Oh field, stop it. If this was a republican president and the guy had refused to meet with him you wouldn't even have posted about it, but because it's a black president and a black football player dissed him, you are all up in arms. Isn't that true field?

Well, yes and no. I would be up in arms and posted about it if it was a black republican president. (What's the chance of that ever happening?) Because James Harrison should have a sense of history and he should understand the historical importance of having the first president of color in the White House, whether he agrees with the man's politics or not.

Oh well, just one more reason not to hold these athletes up as role models for our children. They continue to do great things on the playing field, but dumb things off it. As if this wasn't bad enough. Harrison's stance on visiting the White House should get him flagged for unnecessary stupidity.
