  • He is said to have used the N-word while on the phone and directly to a person he was arresting on November 30, The Tampa Bay Times reported

#6  Well, if I can't say it then he shouldn't either. Shouldn't call me a cracker either, not that I care.

#5  "Fire the bastard!"
"Done!"
"You do know that former Officer White is black, right?"

"Wait...whut?"

#4  Maybe they're just offended at his evil sounding last name. After all, a news report could make it sound like:

'Tampa Cop, White, used N word while making arrest.'

#3  He'll be reinstated with full pay and significant monetary damages. The unspoken rule of cultural exemption will undoubtedly apply. It's a Wakandan thing, you wouldn't understand.

#2  A Black & White case, if there ever were one.

A Checked Case, with a Checked Past.

Black & White Film Negative on 10 PM News

And the winner is :

Thats a White Flag with Black checks,
No thats a Black Flag with White checks.

All and all the man might be schizophrenic,

This could go on for ever
