Guess the Officer should have just cut to the chase and told him he sucks. [Of course that could be construed as he's a pole smoker] If you can't deal with heckling in baseball, just GTFO of the game like the thin skinned loser you really are. |

I have never heard the use of the word "Monday" as a racial slur before. To sum up this story, an off duty cop is at a minor league baseball game and heckles a black player by calling him a "Monday." People around the cop complained and now he might get fired. WTF? Monday is a racial slur? Has anyone else heard this before? and WTF? Freedom of speech for an off duty cop does not exist? Race relations in this country are just fucked. http://www.sunjournal.com/news/sports/2012/07/18/probe-ends-mass-cops-alleged-slur-crawford/1224919 LEOMINSTER, Mass. — A Massachusetts police officer was put on paid leave Wednesday after an internal investigation found that he directed a racial slur at Boston Red Sox outfielder Carl Crawford.
<a href="http://www.sunjournal.com/files/imagecache/story_large/2012/07/18/9cc6b51804579114150f6a706700e118.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.sunjournal.com/files/imagecache/grid-3/2012/07/18/9cc6b51804579114150f6a706700e118.jpg</a> Charles Krupa/The Associated Press Boston Red Sox's Carl Crawford watches the flight of a fly out to center at Fenway Park in Boston, Monday, July 16, 2012. Investigators recently finished the probe into weather an off-duty officer directed a racial slur at Crawford during a game with the Portland Sea Dogs.
Officer John Perrault was suspended pending a disciplinary hearing scheduled for next week at which he could face more severe punishment, and could even be fired, Leominster Mayor Dean Mazzarella and Police Chief Robert Healey said.
Perreault engaged in conduct unbecoming an officer, according to the chief and mayor.
The officer, who is white, was placed on desk duty after the July 5 incident. He was described as a veteran officer with no prior disciplinary problems.
He was off duty and attending a minor league game in Manchester, N.H.
Witnesses said a heckling fan called Crawford, who is black, a "monday" before a game between the New Hampshire Fisher Cats and Portland Sea Dogs. Crawford said he interpreted the word as a racial slur.
The word can be used as a derogatory term for blacks, and is often associated with Mondays being one of the least-liked days of the week.
Crawford was playing for the Double-A Sea Dogs while rehabilitating a wrist injury.
Crawford alerted stadium officials to the remark, and team management apologized.
Leominster police reached out to Crawford as part of their investigation but did not talk to him, Mazzarella said.
The mayor and chief also issued an apology to Crawford.
Crawford returned to action for the Red Sox on Monday night, in a 5-1 win over the Chicago White Sox.

This is the first time I've heard the term used that way. When I lived in Chicago, I've heard the term "Democrat" used to refer to black folks. I had to ask what they meant. Then I crossed them off my "friend" list.
I can't stand racists. Of ANY color. |
