A King County (Washington) Sheriff Sergeant Gets Caught Sending Racist & Sexual Texts

Melanoid Nation — Wed, 15 Apr 2015 05:05:35 +0000

A developing story from the Seattle Times shows that sheriff sergeant Dewey Burns sent a series of inappropriate texts–namely racist texts–to two deputy officers, one of them named Amy Shoblom. After an internal investigation filed by Shoblom, Burns is at risk of being terminated.

When describing an assault suspect, Burns sent a text that he was “probably Black”, because “Usually the violent ones are Black dudes.” It was reported that Burns and Shoblom engaged in “longstanding sexualized text messaging”, a behavior that is frowned upon in all levels of law enforcement careers.

Burns has displayed a number of distinctive character flaws that are deemed inappropriate for a man of his status.
