I read a story about Five police officers and four dispatchers being suspended for sending computer messages after a nightclub caught fire joking about the blaze and quoting a line from the song "Disco Inferno" - "burn baby burn."
Associated Press/AP Online adds:
"Dispatcher Ashlye Bauerle wrote, 'You hear that Midtown is on fire!! The roof of a club . . . That's funny! Gives a whole new meaning to the roof, the roof is on fire,' the documents said.......
......The club has a mostly black clientele, and there were suggestions after the fire that the messages revealed racial bias in the department."
Really?
