Leaked messages: Wichita-area officers sent racist memes, talked about shooting people
Some pretty ugly stuff.
A pattern of racism and disdain for people shot by police has surfaced in private messages between a small group of Wichita-area law enforcement officers, including several who have shot civilians. One text message sent by a white Wichita police officer showed a photoshopped image of George Floyd’s murder. It replaced the white officer who had a knee on Floyd’s neck with an image of a naked Black man sitting on his head. A meme sent by a Sedgwick County sheriff’s deputy showed Elmer Fudd with a shotgun saying, “Be very very quiet I’m hunting (racial slur).”
