Ohio police dispatcher passes along racist image of Air Force One.


The OhioDaily blog reports on a “rogue” dispatcher from the North Canton Police who recently sent out a racist e-mail from her work account. Dispatcher Anita Malachowski forwarded this message:

“New “Air Force One” Tail Number and yes, please forgive me, I’m really sorry, I really, really tried not to laugh, but …………………..!”

Attached to the e-mail was an Photoshopped image of Air Force one with NI66ER written on the plane’s tail. As OhioDaily writes, “This type of message is offensive coming from anyone, but coming from someone in the position of dispatching police and prioritizing calls, it’s downright horrifying. The North Canton police have a hard enough job as it is without rogue dispatchers trying to incite a race riot or stirring tensions during the hot months of summer.”

1. I hope she loses her job...
...and her health care over this.

Then I'll really, really try not to laugh.

6. I hope they lose their jobs. There MUST be consequences for bad behavior.
I think that's the chief reason why all this bad behavior among the radical wrong is proliferating: because it CAN. Because there's nothing stopping it. Nothing calling it out. No penalties for pulling shit like this, whether it's the deliberate perversion of the very name of the Democratic Party, people, and principles ("Democrat Party," "Democrat Congress," "Democrat policies," etc.) or it's closet racists and spoiled Sore Losermen acting up in tantrum-throwing orgies at town hall meetings. No consequences. They can do it with impunity. Because they KNOW little if anything will be done.

And if even ONE person does it? Well, if they're well-positioned, they can force shake-ups within the enemy camp, thus contributing even just a little, to destabilizing the enemy. Which is a VERY good thing. As a matter of fact, it's an ESSENTIAL thing. Damned flat-out URGENT, if you ask me. And that one person I know of so far is Rachel Maddow, exposing that asshole DICK armey for who he really is - the head of "FreedomWorks" that's stirring up the angry mobs and giving them talking points to scream out. Her lone voice generated enough interest and backlash against him that he's been forced to resign from the law firm that has evidently been one of his sources of income since he left Congress. They were taking too much heat because of his presence on staff. We need a MILLION Rachel Maddows.

14. Hmmm....I figured a Police Dispatcher is a police officer.
I figured that not any regular citizen will be given that job.

17. It might be instructive for a civil rights attorney to
be consulted.

Defamation is debasement.

I wonder if the dispatcher has kids in the local school system, and if the school they go to is diverse.

The big picture matters.
