Black county jail officials caught in ‘racist rant’
Posted on 08. May, 2007 by Derek Bargeld in Hidden Crimes, Race, Top Stories
An alleged racist conversation between two top Camden County Jail officials that was inadvertently broadcast over one of the county’s public safety radio channels last week is now under investigation.
Law enforcement officers who were tuned to the channel Wednesday afternoon allegedly heard Deputy Warden Anthony Pizarro and Capt. Ronald Barr, who are both black, use racist slurs and expletives to describe white corrections officers at the county jail.
The alleged 20-minute tirade occurred in a county vehicle and was prompted when a white police officer stopped Pizarro and Barr to issue a traffic ticket, said corrections officers who have requested anonymity for fear they could lose their jobs by speaking out about the incident.
Pizarro and Barr apparently didn’t know they had keyed the vehicle’s microphone and were broadcasting their conversation countywide on a channel used by the corrections department, sheriff’s office, park police, prosecutor’s office and Merchantville police, the officers said.
The lengthy conversation tied up the channel and prevented other officers from using it to communicate on the job, they said.
Pizarro denied the accusations when contacted at his home Monday. MORE>>>
so they will lose their jobs and hopefully be sued by the police officer, Cause if the shoe was on the other foot, and whites talked like this about blacks, jesse, al, and the naacp would DEMAND it.
“There’s an investigation and the truth will come out. I’m not worried about it at all,” said Pizarro….let me translate: ‘a niggerlobbyist(local naacp or black corrections inc. whatever) is involved with the eeoc controlled admin. to coverup the incident and downplay what was said as understandable expressions of anger from ‘racism’ these 2 black officers face everyday, “i’m not worried about it at all”–’because i have precious black skin pigmentation and am an affirmative action quota baby’
Well I’m upset, and I want them fired!!!
Hmmm… Doesn’t quite have the same gusto that Al and Jessie put behind it does it? I’ll have to work on that.
Just two “nappy-headed” jailers on the wrong side of the bars.
