Chicago police officers could be heard saying “Typical f—ing n—–s” and “Black lives matter, my a–” in a dispatch recording that surfaced Monday.
The exchange happened Saturday morning over the city police department’s public radio feed for Morgan Park and other Far South Side neighborhoods, DNAinfo reported.
The slurs appeared to come from a couple of officers around 12 hours after protests and clashes postponed a campaign event for Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump.
The roughly 8:30 a.m. exchange started with a dispatcher joking with a police officer that it was “too early to be bothering you.” They said a friendly good morning to each other.
Another cop asked, “How many boyfriends do you have?”
The dispatcher replied with a joke. “Why you all in my Kool-Aid? Why you over here?”
Another voice said, “You can answer that again,” and a muffled voice said something that sounded like, “You got busted over the air again.”
Two seconds later, a man’s voice said, “Typical f—ing n—–s.”
A police officer asked the dispatcher to “find out what radio that comment came from” and she said she couldn’t track its location but had alerted her boss.
A few indecipherable noises followed before another voice said the ethnic slur again.
“Black lives matter, my a–. F—ing n—–s,” the voice said. The minute-long recording then ended.
Unbelievable…I am at a loss for words to even attempt a comment. Yeah, we all know enough cops who always talk like this
without a moment’s hesitation. Many of them only become cops because they have a chip on their shoulder. It’s not to protect and serve. It’s for ego and to bully people.
