Comment on Sergeant testifies he was denied promotion in descrimination suit against Chief Magnus by william jones

This is a waste of money for citizens of Richmond. It’s obvious to me, a black man, that Magnus said, and he admits, some racially charged statements. Personally, I’ve emailed and talked to Ritter about Sims Metals, a junk yard, and the noise until 2am, and they refused to instruct the police to cite the company. Prior to Magnus the police cited Simms Metals many times and forwarded the information to the city attorney. I talked to Magnus at National Night Out, and he claimed he’d contact me, he never did. Ritter said she’d address the problem, she never did. Current officers have told me that some white police have KKK tattos on their bodies. You be the judge. What do you think about the service provided to the black community from Magnus and
Ritter?

They ought to make it a requirement in ISD that the officer be unmarried, divorced or otherwise unattached, but race doesn’t matter as much as it used to…not enough to deny a lousy heartbteaking high-paying job to a black person.
