In Florida, Miami Beach police have issued new policies after acknowledging 16 officers sent more than 200 racist, sexist, homophobic and pornographic emails, which may have jeopardized dozens of cases. The emails include an image of a gameboard labeled “Black Monopoly,” where every square reads “Go to Jail,” and a photo of a bruised woman with the caption “Domestic violence. Because sometimes, you have to tell her more than once.” Two of those involved were high-ranking officials; one has retired, the second was fired. A new policy requires police to report email misuse by fellow officers.
