Police Officer 'Shocked' Over Criticism

BAW: Police Officer 'Shocked' Over Criticism: "A police officer who resigned last month amid an uproar over homemade Web videos disparaging blacks, Jews and other minorities said she's shocked that some labeled her a racist. 'I've never been a racist, it's not in my heart,' Susan Purtee told Columbus television station WBNS. In videos posted on YouTube.com, Purtee and her sister refer to blacks, Jews, Cubans and illegal immigrants as 'filthy' and accuse Jews of abusing their positions within the media and entertainment industries. Purtee, a 15-year patrol officer, was initially reassigned to a desk job in late August after the videos came to light and were condemned by city officials. She announced her resignation Sept. 14. Her sister, Barbara Gordon-Bell of Parkland, Fla., said the two were just having fun but also made the videos to reveal the truth about America."

"In the television interview, Purtee said she stood by her remarks, though maybe she could have softened them.
"You try to do something you think is good for America, and you try to warn people that you're taken advantage of by the media, and then someone turns around and they go to the lowest level and try to say you're a racist," Purtee said. "It was a shock, it never entered our minds."

My response.

She is stupid and her sister is too.
