The fact that the cop was black is irrelevant

A Fort Lauderdale cop was cleared of an internal investigation claiming he used curse words and racial slurs at some folks at a sketchy Elk Lodge Mother’s Day male-stripper extravaganza. The entire story is fantastic. I imagine he would have had just a slap on the wrist or a line that says “cursed some folks” on his record. It wouldn’t have been a big deal, but the Sun Sentinel treated this story like he had shot someone. In other news, a San Francisco cop accidentally or intentionally straight up shot some dude, and it is all over YouTube (I’m not posting that garbage; search for “BART shooting”).

Anyway, the last lines of this cop-cursing article were the best:

Some people didn't take Carmichael's orders to leave the club seriously because they mistook him for part of the dance act.

The dancer was dressed like a jail inmate and Carmichael was wearing a police uniform.

In the comments of the Sun Sentinel, some holier-than-thou ign’ant folks posted the following eulogy to Barack Obama (to keep his “people” in line? WTF?):

Please Mr. Obama, show your people how to have personal responsibility. Teach them to respect themselves so they might respect others, including the police. Show them how to stand on their own two feet without handouts. Teach them to teach their children to value education and hard work. Teach them values like not getting pregnant before you have a husband who can support the child. Teach them common decency. Teach them those things Mr. Obama, and I, a staunch Republican, will vote for you in four years. If you cannot do those things, nobody can. And your people will start to expect even more entitlements, thus alienating everyone else and setting back race relations 50 years. Lift your people up--not by giving them handouts, but by giving them the proper values.

That is stupid, but it is funny, too
