Miami Beach Police Chief Daniel Oates told reporters on Thursday that 16 officers in his department sent “hundreds” of racist, sexist, pornographic emails, which could jeopardize the criminal cases they’re witnesses in and also just looks terrible. The emails spanned about a two-year period and involved two high-ranking officials. One has been fired, while the other quickly retired.
According to the Associated Press, the emails are like your racist uncle’s spammy email chains, pumped up by a factor of a million: “crude jokes” about black celebrities, including President Obama and Tiger Woods. A cool email about a board game called “Black Monopoly,” in which, the AP reports, “every square says ‘go to jail.’” And a joke about beating women: a photo of a woman with a black eye, and the tagline, “Domestic violence. Because sometimes, you have to tell her more than once.”
