Hall of Famer
Does anyone think for a "Noo Yawk" minute that if a black trooper sent out a "black pride" e-mail, that this would be front page news...or he would have been suspended so long (if at all)? I'm surprised they didn't totally fire Trooper Gobbell and charge him with (bogus) "hate" crimes!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. â€" A Tennessee state trooper who accidentally sent an e-mail proclaiming white pride to 787 state employees has been suspended for 15 days without pay and will have to attend diversity training.
The e-mail from Trooper Brent Gobbell states, in part, "You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member ... you call him a racist." It also includes a list of racist epithets.
The state Department of Safety says Gobbell sent the e-mail to himself so he could print a copy. He did not realize he had also sent it to hundreds of state employees.
An investigation revealed that Gobbell later deleted his responses to the original e-mail and attempted to delete the original too. Gobbell has apologized.
