3 North Carolina White Police police officers fired for racist comments calling for ‘slaughtering’ Black people. The now-former officers – Michael Kevin Piner, Jesse E. Moore II, and James B. Gilmore – were identified Wednesday afternoon at a news conference at Wilmington police headquarters. Moore and Gilmore have worked for the department since 1997, and Piner was hired in 1998.
Police Chief Donny Williams, who was promoted to the department’s top position just a day earlier, said Wednesday that the video of the men’s conversations included “disrespectful language, hate-filled speech and referring to Black people as the n-word.”
“This is the most exceptional and difficult case I have encountered in my career,” said the 29-year Wilmington police veteran. “We must establish new reforms for policing here at home and throughout this country.”
These types of revelations either on video or recorded tapes have brought the reality of what African Americans have been experiencing. Many in the African American communities across the nation have since insisted that an undeclared war between the police and their communities have been ongoing for years.
The entire world is watching as American struggles to eliminated its last vestiges of Racism and the legacy of Slavery.
