    Police officers in Wilmington, NC, were fired after inappropriate comments, including one officer saying society needed a civil war to wipe Black people off the map. https://bit.ly/3fNLlmW

        We've heard from many readers that this tweet inaccurately described extremely racist remarks by police as "inappropriate." We agree. Their conversation described "slaughter" and civil war and should have been characterized more forcefully.

        I feel disappointed in your characterization of these comments as merely "inappropriate".
