Wait that game where you get people to look at the circle and hit them is racist? My black coworker loves doing that. I'm calling HR.

There is a game where kids do what the article describes. They make some shape with their hands put it below eye level and smack the necks of anyone who looks, really similar to telling someone they have something on their shirt then poking their nose. The way they do their hands is different than the guys in the picture though, I have no idea what the officers' were thinking when they did that but they just look stupid.

I guess they went to the Anita Sarkeesian school of thought. Everything is racist, everything is sexist and you need to point it all out.

While it is stupid to label it racist without any basis or evidence whatsoever (literal ignorance), their actions were stupid. Cops need to stop trying (and failing) to be comedians. They're never funny and it just highlights how unprofessional most departments are. If they want to be comedians, do that shit after hours or resign and become a comedian.

I'm willing to accept that there are people who use it as a racist hand signal, however I'm pretty sure a lot more people play the game. Racism wouldn't be my first conclusion here, and part of that is because I know how frat-like some of these PDs are and it is in no way surprising this kind of immature stuff would happen

The mayor said he organized the photo because he wanted the officers to receive credit for their work. He said he has not spoken to them since to ask what they meant by the gesture. He said it doesn't matter. I mean, it kind of does. If they were being racist, then sure, fair play to dismiss em. But if they are doing the game as they say then it seems a bit much to do this over a children's game. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

The gesture is racist as it was a motion made by white plantation owners mocking their black slaves who were chained in the field. If he did it to trick another white person and the other white person saw it then the plantation owner got to make that white person his slave for an afternoon (to do friendly things)
