    Default Police officer fired for alleged racial slur

    Good to see that police officers are held to a higher standard.

    in addition to yelling the epithet “Monday” at Crawford, Perreault had, in other settings, used racial epithets or made racist remarks.

    How is monday a racial epithet???? Is this something new or does it have something to do with baseball insults?

    Honestly I am confused.

    Had to look it up myself. Apparently it's used back east and was also featured in a def jam comedy routine.
    You know how everyone "hates Mondays"?
    It became a code word to refer to blacks.

    learn something new every day.

    I had to read the article twice, figured I had to be missing something, I've never heard of Monday being an insult. But then I don't watch def jam comedy.


    Honstly if someone yelled that I'd be like ????? No, it's Tuesday.

    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
