AMERICA - ‘Beat his chest like Tarzan’: Oregon cops accuse chief of comparing black people to monkeys

The police chief in Oregon has retired after accusations of comparing black people to monkeys, and singing a racist ‘Dixie’ song. The local mayor, however, praised him for his honor and courage.Police officers in Clatskanie, Oregon, have filed a lawsuit against their (now former) chief, Marvin Hoover, saying he discriminated against an Afro-American woman who had been arrested earlier. The incident happened in August, but the details were leaked to the press on Sunday. According to Alex Stone, one of the officers who filed the complaint, it started when he was telling Hoover that the arrestee had accused officers of “racism and discrimination” and said she was going to file a lawsuit against the police department.
