1. Dammit! The white man just can NOT get a break in America
What is this country coming to? Has Bill O'Reilly been notified? Why hasn't Glenn Beck weighed in and told me what to think about this? Rush, advise me! I need to know the appropriate level of outrage for this news! Then fourple it.

6. Incredible! n/t

What a bunch of DUMB HEADED CLODS. Ignorant and narrow minded as well.

From Wiki-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_bay_wisconsin

As of the census of 2000,[1] there were 102,313 people, 41,591 households, and 24,663 families residing in the city. The population density was 2,332.1 people per square mile (900.5/km2). There were 43,123 housing units at an average density of 982.9/sq mi (379.5/km2). The racial makeup of the city was 85.86% White, 1.38% African American, 3.28% Native American, 3.76% Asian, 0.04% Pacific Islander, 3.72% from other races, and 1.97% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 7.13% of the population.

I suppose now they will go into vapors and pretzel logic saying that obviously Green Bay must be racist or there would be more black people living there.

This is also assuming that there have been multitudes of blacks wanting to be Green Bay police officers.

Yea, I'd like to see the number of black applicants. Hell, I don't blame them. It would suck to be called out of a warm bed for an emergency in February in Green Bay!!!

11. He is probably a republican!

Hee hee!:D

The city of Warren finally hired some black cops, since there is a larger black population than in previous years.

Unlike Green Bay, black cops do want to work in Warren. Especially Detroit cops looking for a safer way to make a living in law enforcement.

I'm not quite as old as y'all, but I got a good chuckle out of that too.
