I always love these sorts of stories. Adults using social media has been a thing for a good 12-13 years now and there have been a whole bunch of high-profile cases of people losing their jobs etc. for posting stupid things online. 5-6 years ago I'd already gone back and wiped out most of my online presence to stop future employers being able to find my old Myspace and things like that. How are there still public servants/high profile people out there who think they can post things like 'oonga boonga Obama's a gorilla' and not immediately lose their job?

How is this a negative for our country?

Two police officers did something reprehensible, people found out, those two officers were fired.

This is how it should work.

Please don’t tell us that there are no race-problems in your country. I didn’t even both to look at what country you’re from, but I guarantee you have racial tensions... unless you’re from a super heterogeneous place like Japan or Korea.

The Golden Rule of public life in America is that every event is somehow linked to the ethnicity of the people involved.

It involves both race and dumb stuff online.
