Houston police officer Ashley Gonzalez had to turn in her badge and gun after a purported video of her ranting against Black people surfaced, KHOU reported Tuesday. While she has been relieved of duty, she technically remains employed by the department pending a full investigation, police told the station.
A tipster had alerted Fox 26 to the clip, prompting the probe, according to the channel.
The venom with which the person, who appears to be Gonzalez, relentlessly spews the N-word is startling. Houston officers are sworn to protect the city, which is about a quarter Black.
You can view the video here, but be warned: It’s disturbing.
“I fucking hate niggers,” the woman says while being filmed in a vehicle. “I fucking hate chimps.”
