NYC Cop Apologizes for Racist Rant Against South Asian

Emil Photo Again Edited 61b7dabb61239

If you want to see how racism manifests itself in modern everyday life, you must see the viral video of the plainclothes NYPD cop who went off in a rant against a South Asian driver from Uber.

It will make you thank God for video.

If you haven’t seen the video yet, I link to it on my aaldef.org/blog page:

It’s modern race ugliness at its best. By New York City’s finest.

Patrick Cherry was, until this incident, a plainclothes detective assigned to a high-level FBI anti-terrorism unit. That makes it significant. I wonder if he profiles people very much or if his antennae is up higher when he sees a South Asian or Muslim?

Cherry’s since lost his badge and gun and has been reassigned.
