Today, 140 police and staff in the UK were reprimanded over an email.
This email showed footage from the US showing a man being decapitated on some railings after a pursuit by the police.
The reason for the reprimand was, as a senior officer said, "the image could be perceived as racist and offensive."
The man being decapitated was, in fact, black.
What?
Has the world gone utterly mad? I don't particularly care what colour the unfortunate person is, but I do have an issue with the fact that he's getting his head chopped off!
Why are the police making this an issue of racism? Does political correctness veto good taste? Would we have 140 slapped wrists if it was only a whitey being lynched?
Something's gone horribly wrong somewhere….
