This Racist Police Commissioner In Wolfeboro, NH - How...

...does anyone, especially in a position of public service, get this screwed up?

Read the linked article carefully, because the Boston media has sanitized the story somewhat. Not only does he not apologize, he defends his remarks and proudly professes his hatred for President Obama. What kind man does this and doesn't see the wrong in it?

And the comments posted by some readers are almost as bad.

Some days I weep for this country.

It sounds like recall election is he only way to get him out.

Once the community business pocketbook takes hit, he will be chased out, one way or the other. Wolfeboro boasts as being "The Oldest Summer Resort In America"

defending the creep, saying it's being blown out of proportion etc.

I'd hate to see this idiot end up keeping his job on the commission

Come on ... He was only heard to say it once. And I'm pretty certain that his use of that word has no bearing on how he carries out his work ... especially, his treatment of Black folks.

(In case, someone finds it necessary.)
