Player Harassing Officer Resigns For Better Racism Elsewhere | The Sports Comedian - SportsComedian.com

The police officer who detained Houston Texans runningback Ryan Moats for a traffic violation while his mother-in-law was dying in a hospital resigned today, ending an illustrious career of racism. The 26-year-old officer has been working on his biggotry for years, and was shocked to discover people were outraged when he pulled a gun on an African-American who slowly ran a traffic light, and would not let the man into the hospital while his relative died.

"Because of this incident, I will be stepping down from the police force," said officer Robert Powell. "I don't know if I can live and work in a country that doesn't allow police to investigate just how a black guy came to be driving a car they didn't steal. And how was I supposed to know his mother-in-law was really dying, and that wasn't an excuse so he could hurry along and get some fried chicken?

"It was imperitive to the safety of the city that I searched his SUV for possible Popeye's coupons, so I could prove what his true motives are. That was taught to me on day one of police academy."

Because of the publicity and backlash the story has caused, Powell says he will be moving to Canada.

"I'm going to be going above the border," continued Powell. "There are fewer professional athletes there, so I should be able to freely harass people of color without fear that they are famous and it will get out to the media. There will not be as many black people up there, so I'm going to have to try real hard to find them and give them unnecessary and unwarranted grief."

A reporter asked Powell what he will miss the most about working in Texas.

"I will probably miss the Mexicans the most. There probably won't be any of them up there, and that will take away a good portion of my opportunities for racism. But, I hear they have French people up there, so I'm going to have to study up on what I can objectify them for. I'm very excited about this new opportunity."

Well, I don't know how people will react to this, but if it's kept in the proper perspective, it can be funny.
I'm adding an interview that supposedly really happened in New Orleans right after Katrina I think. It goes to show how communication can be misconstrued and things get out of context.

And I quote: "One of the local television stations in South Louisiana actually aired an interview
with a woman of color from New Orleans. The interviewer was woman from a Boston
affiliate. She asked the interviewee how
such total and complete devastation of the churches in the area had affected their
lives.

The woman replied, " I don't know about all those other peoples but we gets our
chicken from Popeye's".

The look on the interviewer's face was priceless. "....unquote.
