Rogue Dispatcher Endangers Lives of North Canton Police

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Like our brave American soldiers, your local law enforcement officers place their lives on the line everyday to keep us safe. When dangerous and foolish acts of others put their lives in danger, we should join together in outrage. For years, progressives pointed a finger at bureaucrats in the Bush White House whose foolish words and actions enflamed already tense situations and put lives in jeopardy.

In the city of North Canton, a similar brand of foolishness is rearing its ugly head and placing the lives of police officers at risk. OhioDaily has received the copy of a racist email message sent by a North Canton Police Dispatcher.

In the message sent to an unknown number of recipients from a North Canton Police email address ( amalachowski@northcantonpolice.org ), Dispatcher Anita Malachowski forwards the message

"New "Air Force One" Tail Number and yes, please forgive me, I'm really sorry, I really, really tried not to laugh, but .......................!"

The message is sent along with a Photoshopped image of Air Force One with the "N-number" or tail number spelled out as NI66ER.

See the email message here.

This type of message is offensive coming from anyone, but coming from someone in the position of dispatching police and prioritizing calls, it's downright horrifying. The North Canton police have a hard enough job as it is without rogue dispatchers trying to incite a race riot or stirring tensions during the hot months of summer.

If I were a North Canton police officer, I'd return the dispatch call tonight with a message of my own : "Dispatcher Malachowski, do us all a favor and leave your hate at home."

UPDATE...

Second Dispatcher Caught in Web of Hate

I imagine the person (if they did indeed send that email) will be subject to disciplinary action.

Not really sure how this would put police in more jeopardy on the job, but what is really interesting is one of the comments (from the link of the story)

OFFENSIVE EMAIL

I have already forwarded this to flag@whitehouse.gov.

Yes, I know that e-address is for incorrect health insurance reform emails, but I have taken the privilege to forward any and all emails that are offensive and what I consider coercive against the US government and administration to that address.

It is an effective way to get my revulsion quickly mitigated.

Even if they are ignored at the receiving end, I feel better about the whole thing, having acted.

Which is why that was a bad idea.
