Mark McNamara resigned from the San Jose Police Department after an internal affairs investigation uncovered alarming text messages denigrating Black people. The messages appear to reference a 2022 officer-involved shooting that injured K’uan Green. The Law&Crime Network’s Jesse Weber sits down with former police sergeant Derrick Levasseur to discuss the response from SJPD and what it means for Green’s lawsuit against the city.

He is a real man, blk people are wild
I like this guest. He is the kind of man that should work in law enforcement.
I'm from San Jose and I was looking into finding out if this police officer was related to the former police chief of San Jose. I can't find any information on that. Same last name. It was also kind of reckless to shoot into a business full of people.
It took bloodshed to bring him to light only exacerbates the original problem of attempting to assimilate into a society that has locked the door of entry although they are the cause that certain POC are here in the first place.
Sad thing they investigated him for texts not shooting a man smdh
Scary thing is there's millions just like him who think like this
strait up fed hate crime
This cop is a sick individual. All others like him need to be removed from every position of authority but instead more of them get hired and continue in their criminal behavior. This man will still be able to get a job as a cop somewhere else and that is what is really terrible about this situation.
Who doesn’t 😂
How much did his fellow officers know and when? I'm sure there was a plethora of red flags. The whole department needs to be investigated.
Now that's low value…
Why 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
😮😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
OK, I’m just gonna say it…. That cop reminds of of Officer Farva from Super Troopers!!
No real accountability for the police officers , the tax payer foots the bill for billion’s annually in a bankrupt nation.
They are the norm in departments nationwide.
Picked the wrong day to resist arrest didn’t ya?
Racists texts aside, I am not even an officer and I hate them as well😂
He's itching.,..
This aint the 80's or 90's but this proves ones born every minute
Most of you are blind to the FACT that nothing but problems come from that culture. I prefer to stay as far away as possible.
What does the color have to do things 😊
Only gonn
I don’t like racists. They need to change
That man needs to be put in prison.
He's not the only one. His opinion is shared by the vast majority of the population.
He as most of his group are raised by their parents, other family members and their society to be anti-blk r@ci$t$. The two in this video know this, as well as most in their group do.
How sad. Will this ever change?
Sorry but this attitude is way too prevalent in Law Enforcement across the country. Supervisors find out about it and do nothing.
Why is hate so rampant in this world?!
Defund the police ASAP
🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡
How is the victim recovering??
Most wht people feel the same way
Usual suspects
Eff the police
Why don't more cops speak up against their "outliers"? Their silence is always loud
The police officer’s actions may have been within bounds of “protocol” but clearly this young man did not have the benefit of the officer’s discretion.
Of course hes a football modern day s lave
So you cant dislike a group? I thought this was america
