BRIDGEPORT — A racially-charged letter that starts with the words “white power” has African-American police officers calling for action.
The Bridgeport Guardians, a group representing black police officers in the city, tomorrow will host a press conference to publicly ask Police Chief Joseph Gaudett to address the letter, which specifically calls out Officer Clive Higgins.
Higgins is the only one of three police officers acquitted in what is known as the “Beardsley Stomp.” The video, posted on Youtube, shows three city police officers kicking a downed suspect.
The letter, which was sent anonymously and posted on Police Department letterhead, states Higgins doesn’t belong in the department, that black officers belong in the toilet and even goes so far as to say, “You better watch your back. We know where you live.”
Lt. Lonnie Blackwell said it’s not the first racially-charged letter to make its way around the department in recent weeks. The Guardians are hoping Gaudett will consider outsourcing any investigation into the incident.
