Black Former Cop Arrested On Suspicion Of Planting Racist Letter

Former Black Cop Suspected Of Faking Racist Letter

Wow. This guy is an embarrassment to the race. Like it’s not bad enough for those folks out there actually being discriminated against we got people like this guy making up ish…

According to NY Daily News reports:

Clive Higgins, 50, of Naugatuck, was arrested Wednesday after investigators said the letter that was sent to Bridgeport Police Department in Connecticut was a hoax.

Back in February, Higgins said he found a letter that made several racist statements, including one that black police officers belong in the toilet.

The letter, titled “White Power,” was found in several officers’ mailboxes.

Suspiciously, the letter was written on official police department letterhead, which is not available to the general public.

Higgins surrendered to state police Wednesday morning and was charged with second-degree false reporting of an incident.

He was released and is due to appear in Superior Court on Dec. 16, according to Fox 61 News.

SMH. What do you think an appropriate punishment would be?

We’re guessing homeboy got caught because he used the letterhead AND referred to a case that involved HIM!

The letter also referenced a highly publicized case involving three police officers, including Higgins.

The officers were caught on camera kicking and beating a man in May 2011.

Higgins, a 12-year veteran of the department, was the only black officer involved, and was the only officer acquitted of brutality charges.

The other two officers, Elson Morales and Joseph Lawlor, pleaded guilty to federal misdemeanors. They resigned from the department and face up to a year in jail. Higgins resigned from the Bridgeport Police Department on July 6.

Doesn’t this make you feel angry?
