Philly Judge Under Fire For Racist Remarks
By Wyatt Earp | June 12, 2011
Wow, this is surprising. I am truly shocked; really, and I mean that.
Fox 29 has obtained a confidential memo that puts a local judge in the middle of a controversy. He’s accused of making racial remarks to a group of Philadelphia cops. This complaint alleges that the judge claimed he could tell when officers were lying and even went so far as to distinguish officers along racial lines.
In the complaint, two officers claim they heard the judge remark that he could “feel when someone was lying,” and that he “didn’t believe any of the white narcotics officers and some of the black ones.” (H/T – C/A)
Racism. It’s not just for white people anymore.

How much do you want to bed that the DOJ will order the investigation/prosecution/suspension/whatever of the judge halted/overturned?

Old NFO – So much for impartiality, huh?
Raptor – With Eric Holder at the lead? No takers.

Wyatt,
Are you sure he isn’t a judge in Chicago? He could be.

I am actually impressed that this is being looked into. Even if nothing happens as a result, the fact that it is being looked into is a huge step.
Racists remarks actually said to me in this past week:
1. Any white woman that would f* a n* would just as soon f* a snake if someone held its head.
2. Only white people can be racist.
1. There is no talking to. I’m pretty sure my jaw hitting the ground is what caused the 4.0 earthquake.
2. She is Navajo and I set the record straight real quick with her.

LDIV – He could be President Judge there.
Kim – So she was a Casino Indian and not a Slurpee Indian? (Now THAT’S racism!!!)

Better than a certain SCOTUS judge saying she’s better than any stupid white person because she’s a wise Latina…

Sounds like he attended the Eric Holder school of “racism and Black Panthers with night sticks are not intimidating at polling places.” Just sayin’

HEY!!! Let’s give Philly Judge Peter Rogers credit for coming out like that!!
I mean, really, how many judges admit that they’re gay?!

Ooops, sorry, he didn’t say he was Gay* – so lets stop that Rumor in its tracks, right now!

If this guy was held to the standards of real estate advertising, he’d be toast already.
$10,000 fine. Loss of license.

I had an ad bounced because it said that the local area had “familly activities.”
I guess it revealed discriminatory intent towards single renters.

Ranba – No one deems themselves “wise.” It’s something shown by actions and deeds.
JT – They certainly stopped playing as hot as they were.
MeToo – I’m sure he agreed with the DOJ’s decision to drop the case.
Real – He’s not gay. He’s incompetent. NTTAWWT.
Ed – Lousy parents with their obnoxious kids!!!
