Should the cop have been reinstated?


The black cop was originally fired for using the n-word a couple times while arresting a teen at school. He was reinstated after he argued that the word is part of his culture or something like that. White people usually get fired if they call someone the n-word but blacks appear to be able to use it freely. I think everybody should be treated the same. Either fire everyone who uses it or just treat it like a harmless slang term. I think he should not have been reinstated since he called someone the n-word.

This "treat everyone equally" and "double standard" lines people trot out at times like this just do not add up.

A black man calling a black man a nigger is a world away from a white man calling a black man a nigger
It is not remotely the same thing
its not the same ball park
its not even the same goddam sport

and therefore cannot be "treated equally"

All will be forgiven.
