Philadelphia's acting police commissioner apologized this week after images surfaced of a racially insensitive T-shirt she wore in the 1990s, prompting calls for her resignation.
Coulter said she didn’t realize at the time that the shirt was an apparent reference to the highly publicized King beating, but said she was"profoundly sorry" for wearing it, nonetheless. She previously said the photo had been taken during a gathering with other officers at the Jersey Shore when she policing the city's 25th district, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
The findings -- published in a report by the Plain View Project, a civil rights watchdog -- resulted in 72 Philadelphia Police Department officers being placed on administrative leave in June. Several other officers resigned shortly after.
Fire him
Awwww da wittle babies’ feelings are hurt 😱 awwww so sad! What are we gonna do 😂
Gone girl. Bye.
Leave He-Man alone. Or She-Man....
She claim that she didn’t know what the shirt was referring too we all know she is lying.
you have to be kidding who in the hell care what she wore in the 90's, we need to fight back and just SAY NO
She need to step down
Is that Chris Farley!!
It’s 2019!! We got bigger crap to deal with and a new level of racism that’s perpetuated by the internet. If she’s haven’t shown any type of racial biases since, then show people some mercy and forgiveness.
Let’s be honest, we all have blundered in one way or another. Then we grow up.
This is outrageous! SarahKSilverman
Really!! You people need a life Look in your closet , what did you do when you were young
Oh please. Time and people change. Give it up social justice warriors.
Lighten up already
The whole world should resign....yknow for the insensitive things that have transpired over the last 4 billion years.....smdh
If she wasn't white this story wouldn't even be being shared. Prove me wrong
Damn she just got the gig lol
Add one more victim to the leftist mob hit list
How does the shirt look? Also her hair style is way before the 1990s too
What?!
Those who hold to the past will never succeed -
That was 25 years and 150 pounds ago. Let's move on.
Now do the Virginia Democrat Governor Ralph Northam
goodness ! for a shirt ! what's going on with people ? apology accepted no need to resign. if you dig into someone's old photos for sure there's something there.
Fire her.
So it’s ok to dig up things on certain people and have them accountable for it. Gtfoh I’ve never seen a former racist.
25 years she has done enough to be a police commissioner but a picture that could be construed as insensitive shows up? Fire her! As long as Jesus replaces her, otherwise judge on her performance, not an old picture. PoliticalCorrectnessGoneCrazy
Enough, the past is the past....let's work on the future by shutting up these progressive idiots who is all about trying to divide Americans....we are not buying your B.S. Media
How could she NOT know the reference ? If it was NOT a double entendre it would’ve read ,”We Treat You Like Royalty “ ..
She thinks America is stupid. To disrespect our intelligence by stating that she had no idea a LAPD treats you like a King shirt was not in reference to the Rodney King beating. People like this who don't have empathy should NOT be in Law Enforcement PERIOD
Anyone know if the governor of Virginia has resigned over that blackface thing yet?
Ridiculous.
Too bad for her she doesn’t work in Virginia 😜
Oh come on people. It was twenty five years ago, not three months ago. Can we stop this nonsense please?
Reminder - Governor blackface has still not resigned. Her T-shirt is small potatoes.
Wow it's their past coming to haunt them
PLEASE ....
I miss the 90s...we were so happy and we didn't even know it.
Fire her! That’s what you liberal fascists always demand but if it’s a liberal, they ignore it!
That shirt is actually funny. More of a dig on the police really.
Is she not allowed some form of redemption! Did this not happen back in the 1990’s, or are people just going to be forever condemned for their past actions?
Yeah right!
Stop it.
outrage culture was created by news outlets to make people read their bullshit quityourbullshit outrageculture
This is Amerikka....fire her for a shirt referencing officers kicking and beating a civilian...that were aquitted for beating him...make it make sense...
Cancel culture. No redemption allowed. Tiresome. Those that seek to destroy the lives of those with whom they disagree by digging up decades old pictures make the world cold and unforgiving.
how about we move forward instead of backwards...
😂😂😂
How about people in leadership positions in this world stop and THINK about what they say, text, tweet, post wear. Simple thought. Is it good, positive make life better. Or is it wrong. Not complicated, and not confused by political boundaries like 49 th parallel.
Someone should do an investigation on all liberal journalist........going all the way back to high school. I guarantee you, practically everyone of them have done and said things that in today's PC charged climate......would make them look bad. Grow up people!
Omg!!!! This is the doing of snowflake liberals!!! Conservatives would never do crap like this!!!!
Ummm, so it's a shirt that points out the LAPD brutality with a joke. Ohhhh nooo..
1st Amendment 🇺🇸 ✌️ Wear whatever tf you want. This ain't Russia folks...
more of a diss on the lapd than anything
25 years ago. Who cares This world is becoming pathetic.
The 90's People are sensitive vaginas.. 🤡😎
DerenicByrd There should be a law that incarcerates white people for these traumatic acts of racism.
She’s acting people!!
Where can I get that shirt
DerenicByrd Another dog whistle to racist supporters. The apology is fake.
I believe people can and do change, learn better, do better. Her suggesting that she didn't know the implications of the words on that shirt, naaahh. I throw the bs flag on that.
Fake outrage. This was in the 90s
Those were probably the days when Blacks were Blacks & we Didn't have to call Them 'African--American' etc. Things are very Complicated in the USA , these days & Smack of an Overactive 'World Psychology' wanting to change the basic Simplicity Of the United States. Philadelphia !!
No fatties
DaveChapelle
The news is like a woman... it dig up the past and don’t let things go.
Get over it. It was 25 years ago & atitudes can change over time.
Diversity means we have to always worry about offending someone over what we wore decades ago.
Really? Does she really mean it?
Don’t believe she has reformed. This case was about police brutality. That’s a whole different game. She doesn’t belong as head cop
Come on people stop with this. I bet the person who wrote this tweet has done some messed up stuff and that's ok cause were human. Chappelle said it best for sure... it's embarrassing and very dangerous too.
You know what insensitive? The fake news enemy of the people NYT blaming planes for 9-11.
Get over it.
Let the person who's done nothing stupid or insensitive in the past 25 years throw the first stone.
An apology should be good enough. We can't change the past but we can do better in the future. KAG2020Landslide
Apology not accepted, tell her take a dive off the Girard Point Bridge
Kind of like these upstanding citizens who wanted their bench back.
In the 90’s hahaha
The Police commissioner is appointed by the Mayor. Who elected the Mayor? You want to change the world start locally.
Woah
that dude needs to resign.
20 years ago. I swear, no one will be able to do anything moving forward. Whole groups just digging up old tweets and pictures. At what point can we factor who she is 20 years later. If she’s racist now, she’s got to go.
Good Grief Intelligence agencies state the President of the USA is a Russian Asset & You're writing about a 25 year old T-Shirt Who ever approved this should be let go Liberal Conservative republican democrat Republican Democrat Christians Christianity
This is the calibre of people nowadays. Find something from the distant past to destroy them now. Truly horrid behaviour. It removes the idea someone can change.
1990s? Those were the days before print on demand sites, where shirts are available within hours of a significant event. She didn't just point, click, and order it on a whim on amazon. It means she had to spend hours in store somewhere, browsing for a hateful shirt like that.
I love how they play stupid when they get caught. 'I didn't know it meant that'..... cut me a break.
Get a grip , how pathetic , would she wear it now ? No ! Well then stop holding people to account for growing up .
