‘Cross burning lowers blood pressure!’ San Francisco sergeant’s racist text messages throw 3,000 criminal cases into question • 2015 May 8 • Washington Post

In response to Furminger’s motion for bail pending an appeal of his case, prosecutors filed court papers arguing the former police sergeant was a racist, homophobic alcoholic.

…

Prosecutors then introduced dozens of Furminger’s offensive text messages. When another SFPD officer texted him about the promotion of a black officer, Furminger replied: “F—– n—–.” When a fellow cop texted that he was boarding a train, Furminger warned him to “watch out for BM’s,” or black males. He sent friends messages about “White power” and the KKK, poked fun at Filipinos, Hispanics and gays, and said he was “watching” like a hawk the two black kids at his son’s school.

When a friend asked him via text if he celebrated Kwanzaa at his kid’s schools, Furminger replied: “Yeah we burn the cross on the field! Then we celebrate Whitemas.”

I really like how he blames political correctness for his behavior.
