Inquirer Staff Writer Troy Graham reports:

An association of black police officers sued the Philadelphia Police Department in federal court yesterday for allowing its officers to post “blatantly racist, anti-minority, disgusting and offensive” content on a popular website devoted to law enforcement topics.

The suit says that domelights.com, which bills itself as “the voice of the good guys,” was founded and is moderated by an active duty Philadelphia police sergeant who uses the name “McQ” in his postings.

Sgt. McQ “encourages the racially offensive conduct,” according to the lawsuit.

The Guardian Civic League also sued McQ and the website. The Philadelphia NAACP and the National Association of Black Law Enforcement Officers joined the league as plaintiffs.

The league said that white police officers post and moderate the site while on duty, sometimes in front of black officers.

On-duty posting contributes to “a racially offensive and hostile employment environment” for black officers, the suit said.

Even the word “domelights,” which normally refers to the police lights on top of cruisers, has taken on an “insulting connotation” among black officers, according to the lawsuit.

The suit cites one posting that reads, “Guns don’t kill people … dangerous minorities do.”

A police spokesman said the department doesn’t comment on lawsuits.

[knight0334]

Karma is such a bitch.. I've seen some of the posts over there, and I can attest that there has been some racially charged and plain-old violently offensive discussion in a few threads.

[normanvin]

LOL...................

[jerkin]

If you want a good laugh go over to their site and read the post about it, they are bitching up a storm about their 1st amendment rights but if you have read the open carry topics over there they have no problem trampling everyone elses 2nd amendment rights.

I'd be all for them on this issue if it wasn't for half of their members wanting to "put 2 in your pumpkin" for lawfully carrying a weapon. Like knight said, Karma is a bitch, lol.

[headcase]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.....BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA!!!!

OMFG that is just karma biting them in the ass. Hahahahahahahahaha.

[thatJeffguy]

[JayBell]

[larrymeyer]

I hope they sue there asses off. After the OC thread they should be shut down. Some cops think they have the right to do anything

[CerealKiller]
