Police make me nervous. They always have. Unlike a lot of my friends, who claim that seeing a police officer makes them "feel safe," catching sight of the fuzz makes my palms sweat and my heart race. It doesn't matter if I'm driving or on foot--I've got full-fledged po-po-paranoia. Stories like this just add fuel to my heat-hating fire.
A crude "ghetto handbook" distributed to police patrolling Houston's public schools has resulted in the suspension of one officer.
The booklet, which was given to about 20 cops, is subtitled "Wucha dun did now?," and purports to help the reader "learn to speak ebonics as if you just came out of the hood...because you could find you self with a problem one day and ebonics could save your life."
Originally distributed by some brainiac cop in May, it took a whopping three months for the genius district officials to find out about the handbook and investigate. So far, officials haven't identified the Good ol' boy who created and distributed the guide, but he's been ordered to go to diversity training. I'm sure he'll emerge the picture of worldly compassion.
Perhaps the saddest part is what the handbook covers. I mean, really--what "foo" doesn't know what "bling" is? Any cop that needs a handbook to give him the "411" on the "hood" needs to have his badge "ganked." Like, now.
You cops are a bigger joke than, well...than this:
I've disliked cops since my brother got the shit beat out of him and arrested for something he didn't do, and yet he still got some jail time and probation for "resisting arrest"
It kind of makes me feel bad for the cops who are doing the right thing and trying to keep us safe.
Ghetto Handbook @ The Smoking Gun
I learned something! I did not know that "cigarettes is bones" or "jacks is pay phones." Or that "aight" is a verb (not really buying that one, actually.) Really, though- any cop who needed this handbook to find out that "bail" is "money to get out of jail" needs his or her badge "ganked" indeed.

I've disliked Mexicans ever since one beat up my cousin.
I've disliked your cousin ever since I found out even Mexicans hate him.

EDIT: ACK, you changed your post!
I have a hidden camera pointed at you so that when you quote me, I can go change my post and make you look foolish.
you are a true dipshit.! you are just another asshole who automaticly assumes that all cops are unintelligent, crooked and racist. yet im sure that you wouldn't hesitate in calling them if you were in need. one cops bad judgement shouldnt incriminate all of them. the cop who wrote this may just be uninformed, and not quite as schooled on pop culture and the slang that comes with it these days. maybe this was just meant to be funny to that cop and a group of his co-workers. im sure that YOU have NEVER made jokes that werent p.c. right?

People hate cops because of the way they carry themselves. Some towns they're nice people. Some towns, being a prick is part of the professional culture. We all know which local towns have asshole cops.

Ebonics was once taught as a foreign language in California Public Schools.
..... Yeah
Yeah...it was a pre-req for African Studies at UCLA.
I'm not so much afraid of cops who have this handbook as I am curious whether it was distributed as a gag (a terribly distasteful one) or if it really was something someone felt was necesarry.
Furthermore, what awful crimes could have been solved instead while this jackass wasted his time writing it?

I'm sure the self identified cop hating authorwill not hesitate to call the 'po-po' whenever her safety or property is threatened.
yeah. furthermore, the man has obviously posed such a threat to his white-suburban existence. lmao. wow, this isnt news yet, and it isnt smart yet. put it back in the oven, its not done.
