"Misdirected levity," says (Thunder Bay Police Service Deputy Chief Andy) Hays? Abhorrent!
If it had been that officer's, or any other officer's father, brother or spouse I'm sure they would not have found any "levity" in the situation. It is racist in the nature of the way it minimizes the victim’s death and the tragedy of the entire event.
If not racist, than the email is obscenely insensitive to the family of the murdered man. Pathetic!
I suggest the Thunder Bay Police Service get some serious training is compassion and sensitivity. You clearly have a systemic problem if this officer even considered what he wrote to be appropriate
