We know, we know, but we can’t help going back to the well with cop messageboard Domelights every time something goes down inside the Philadelphia Police Department: It may be the only way us citizens can get a read on what cops are really thinking at any given moment. (Plus, like on any community messageboard, there is always a good chance of someone saying something 100% certifiable batshit crazy.) But first, the set-up. According to Wendy Ruderman at the Daily News:

INSIDE the locker of a narcotics cop, Philadelphia police officials recently made a shocking discovery: A cartoon of a man, half as an officer in uniform and half as a Klansman with the words: “Blue By Day - White By Night. White Power,” according to police officials.

The officer, Scott Schweizer, who has arrested countless drug suspects in predominantly African-American neighborhoods, was removed from his undercover police duties and given a desk job earlier this month, authorities said.

The disturbing find triggered an internal probe that widened yesterday as investigators began to explore whether the scope of the case is limited to Schweizer or somehow broader.

[...]Rochelle Bilal, president of the Guardian Civic League, which represents 3,000 African-American officers in Philadelphia, said the union has been monitoring the Schweizer case since the start. She called upon Ramsey to “do the right thing.”

OK, well, that is creepy, scary and fucked, to be sure. After the jump, let’s wing on over to see what the Domelights take is.

i will wait to pass judgment.whether it was placed in his locker as a joke or on purpose.seems like the perfect scape goat,white officer w/a german last name,white power sticker??????

Interesting theory. That’d be a harsh thing to do to a brother in blue, but like we say, innnteresting. What else you got, people of Domelights?

[..]I find it very amusing when career race-baiters like Bilal are cited as authorities by the media when there are issues like this.

OK, here come the axes…

I am doing a story on my own about who reports these alleged racist stories and how the media compares and contrasts different races and ethnic groups. So far, the media personnel only target whites [Europeans] as racists.

My question right now is: What is WENDY RUDERMAN’s ethnicity?

Did you hear that? The Dragnet theme? Just now? No, that was just me? OK. Sorry.
