I find that anybody who has to make any public comment saying, "I am not a racist but..." is usually a racist. Yes, the comment is racist. Yes, it's pretty obvious this particular officer is racist. Yes, it's certain this particular officer is an assclown. -Mark

He never thought the reporter that he sent the email to would publish it, not possible! Therefore, he is NOT a racist (his viewpoint) - The message was meant to be one of those "conversations between bros during a football game" type of thing. Right. Kinda interesting how he claims he still is not racist.

It'd be better for him if he donned his white hood, spoke up about his beliefs and made sure he was in the wrong neighborhood when he did it. What has frustrated me about the Gates/Crowley affair has been that it appears to be a case of a good cop in an impossible (perhaps even set up) position & Crowley will now either dance the jig Obama wants him to, or he will hang. . . what a waste of a good cop! There are too many guys like this joker, wearing badges & shouldn't be, abusing civil rights and shouldn't be, quietly tolerated and shouldn't be . . . . Dang it! There are far too many dirty cops, why they gotta keelhaul Crowley when there are SO many cops that actually are racist, actually are bullies in blue  Grrrrr!

I suspect that a copious amount of ethyl alcohol injested prior to sitting at the keyboard was a major trigger here.

To answer the question, yes, I do believe that "Jungle Monkey" is racist... "Porch Monkey" is now not racist. Randall took it back:
