Seattle police chief Jim Pugel—tasked with reforming the department in the wake of a Justice Department report that criticized it for its routine use of excessive force—has been forced to apologise for a video he participated in that made fun of the homeless.
"The following video was produced in 1986. The skit was created in a misguided attempt at humor and added to the end of a training video. Upon viewing it, commanders judged the content to be inappropriate. Copies were ordered to be destroyed"
The line about "kicking homeless ass" is particularly subtle humor, isn't it? The police made the video public after being tipped off that the media had learned of its existence.
