English White cop is put in jail for 20 weeks for sending “George Floyd” memes
(www.huffpost.com)https://www.huffpost.com/entry/former-british-cop-james-watts-jailed-racist-posts_n_62a946bfe4b06594c1cf6220A former British police constable has been sentenced to 20 weeks in jail for sending a series of racist memes, including ones about the death of George Floyd, to a WhatsApp group.
James Watts, 31, shared the posts in May and June 2020 in a group chat, which included former colleagues at a prison he’d worked at.
He resigned after police launched an inquiry into the posts. He was charged with 10 counts of sending grossly offensive messages, including one featuring a white dog wearing Ku Klux Klan clothing, another showing a kneeling mat with Floyd’s face printed on it, and jokes about Floyd’s death using pictures of cartoon character George of the Jungle and the children’s game Guess Who, The Guardian reported.
