People like this are all throughout law enforcement and the legal system and need to be routed out!
Imagine all the harsh sentences she gave black people compared to yt cause she is racist
I wonder what patterns she sees in the courts to make her feel like saying these things. I’m sure it’s not the overwhelming amount of black criminals compared to other races flooding the courts.
Judges bring their own racial and christian beliefs into the courtroom everyday!
Closet racists being unwitted by social media. 👍👍👍
That's going to leave a mark. However nothing new to see in a state having a long record of prejudicial law enforcement.
cnn would be ok with that type of language if she was a democrat. I even recall POTUS claiming if you didn’t vote for him you weren’t black.
Only sorry you all got caught.
Fox will probs hire her. Or shoe-In at newsmax?
If only all racists would resign.
How bout this ? No reporting
Keeping it classy in the USA!
good
If we are expecting people to quit after what is said in private at their homes after a night of drinking, - dont come to my house on tequila night.
Ummm…in her home? How about SHE WAS THE ONE WHO SAID IT?!)
I hear them every day when I listen to rap on the radio.
People, wasn't it her and her family? Why say people when it was her?
Good!! Public opinion matters!
wtf_imtooold Hmmm...generally speaking drugs and alcohol don't turn you into a completely other person, they loosen your tongue.
Good, next!
God awful. Hell was originally created for Lucifer and the angels that rebelled against God - unfortunately, billions of people will also end up there.
Finally!
Some of those who work forces…
Unless they were burglars this looks bad.
Time to review her sentencing.
This will give her more time to run for Grand Wizard
All her rulings against minorities and people of color should be reviewed.
Wait… a racist JUDGE? In Louisiana? This has to be wrong. Our judicial system does NOT have racist people in it. They’ve told me its true.
GoodRiddance
Apologize stop!!!! You finally got caught that's why.
