Police officers circulate racist and discriminatory emails, abuse towards Indigenous peoples

221099

Carter was the subject of an LERB hearing in 2010 regarding his creation and dissemination of a racist and otherwise offensive email known as "Mr. Socko's Ten Principles of Downtown Policing" that was forwarded to a number of Edmonton Police officers in 2002 and other years. Carter and another officer, Radmanovich, were issued official warnings on their records. The email read as follows: "ÒMr SOCKOÕS Ten Principles of Downtown Policing. (Alternatively known as MR SOCKOÕS ÒDowntown WayÓ)
1) All the best ÒInvestigationsÓ end in a brawl.
2) The key to a successful partnership is to have crime on one another.
3) An ÒAboriginalÓ is actually just an Indian.
4) D58 is more than just transportation and should always be referred to as the ÒMobile Native Friendship Centre.Ó
5) Operating the D58 is the most noble job in the department. Ensure all subjects you deal with in the M.N.F.C. address you as ÒAmbassador.Ó
6) The Gaming and Liquor Act is the supreme document which governs us all.
7) Every arrest should be followed by a vague, yet wordy report.
8) In order to color an otherwise boring police report, repeatedly use words like ÒTrannyÓ, ÒWhoreÓ, and ÒAss-FuckedÓ, even if they have (sic) nothing to do with the investigation.
9) PCU is for stuff you already have.
10) Tom ENGEL is SATAN.Ó"
