Report: Radio Racism Knocks Police Off Job (Bristol, CT)
Report: Radio Racism Knocks Police Off Job --One Officer Retires, Other Placed On Paid Leave

A pair of Bristol (CT) police officers accused of making racist remarks during a pirated radio broadcast are reportedly off the job.

One has retired, and the other has been placed on paid leave due to the allegations, according to Bristol police.

The Connecticut NAACP asked the U.S. Justice Department to step in to investigate the officers after obtaining a Bristol police officer's report of witnessing a racist radio broadcast involving an unnamed Bristol police captain and sergeant.

1. You got to be careful in the northwest quarter of Connecticut.
Expecially in Litchfield (lynchfield) County. It's red and a lot of redneck, gun nuts around there. Sort of like Peyton Place. Also, Nancy Johnson (Bush Clone) is their congress'woman'. Yes, Connecticut has Bushista's too. Sad.
I'm not suprised by this either. Also, the cops over there are running to get tasers. The NAACP/ACLU better get the lawsuits ready to roll.

2. Hey! I'm from Litchfield County...
and I agree completely. It's the reddest county in the state but Bristol is in Hartford County.

3. But part of Hartford County does border Litchfield.
Bristol and New Britain border it.
