Ex-police officer who 'found' racist letter threatening African-American cops at work now charged with planting it
An ex-police officer who reported finding a letter insulting black officers has been accused of planting the note himself.
Clive Higgins was arrested on Wednesday in Connecticut on a charge of second-degree falsely reporting an incident.
The 50-year-old claimed to have discovered the threatening letter on February 9 inside his mailbox at the Bridgeport police department.
Higgins, who is black, said the note written on police department stationary made him fear for his life and proved that there was discrimination inside the department.
'It's disappointing,' said Sgt. Charles Paris, head of the police union.
'But hopefully this will clarify some questions about our membership. We have hard-working men and women in the department and our sole purpose is to protect the residents of the city of Bridgeport.'
The letter began and ended with 'White Power', according to the CT Post. The term was coined by the Klu Klux Klan and the American Nazi Party in the late 1960s and 70s.
The letter added that Higgins didn't belong in the Police Department, and went on to make disparaging comments about African-American police officers.

He has to get the same punishment that a White boy would have gotten for the same crime.
Another fake hate crime by blacks who have been encouraged to hate whitey by Obama.
Eric Holder and Barack Obama have encouraged this type of idiocy.
Exactly.
Here we go again. Can someone please point me to a case of one of these nooses, or racist letters or other racist threats or images that HASN’T been planted by some liberal minority lunatic???
I see how they took the bone out of his nose. Probably so he wouldn’t choke to death on it in his jail cell.
Fake but accurate.
The “thinking” of these racial discrimination HOAX PERPETRATORS:
“I must be a victim...why haven’t THEY left a threatening note for me? I’ll have to do it myself so other people recognize my victimhood.”
Hats off good sir... that really says it all doesn’t it!
So typical of the lunatic left to cause any trouble they can.
I guess his use of Ebonics gave away the fact that the letter wasn’t written by a white person...
You miss the point - remember, when the left gets caught in a lie, the issue becomes “the seriousness of the charge” - or - hows about “it was meant to draw attention to many many many real examples of discrimination and will convey the benefit of opening a dialog.”
How am I doing on my lefty blather training?

******
Like Lois Lerner planted that info about the IRS and she was charged? / oh wait..../ sarc
Why do we even bother investigating this stuff any more?
It inevitably ends up being a hoax.
I wouldn’t want this guy doing a tour in a radio car this this POS.
