On Thursday, the US police in North Carolina expelled three of its officers, after an audio recording showing their use of racist expressions was leaked and they discussed plans to "slaughter blacks" in another civil war, while Thursday New York police announced the arrest of one of their officers, accusing him of strangling and attempting to strangle after He traded a video a few days ago showing him using an illegal throttle to arrest a person.
The Washington Post newspaper quoted the police department in Wilmington, North Carolina as saying that a leak of a racist sound recording had expelled Michael Penner, Jesse Moore and officer James Gilmore, who had accidentally recorded their conversation in patrol cars.
Penner hears in the recording saying he expects the "blacks life is important" protests to lead to civil war, to comment: "I'm ready, I'll buy an assault rifle, and we'll go out and start to slaughter them." Policeman Moore also hears in the same recording describing a court official as a "negro judge", in addition to his pronouncement that she is a homosexual.
Insulting Registration
Although dismissed police officers denied that their conversation was racist, Wilmington Police Chief Donnie Williams, an African American, described during the announcement of the expulsion decision the registration as brutally insulting.
The death of African-American George Floyd during his detention in the city of Minneapolis has sparked widespread public anger that led to the outbreak of protests across the country, calling for an end to police violence and racism against African Americans.
In a related context, Reuters news agency reported that New York police arrested one of its officers yesterday and charged him with strangling and attempting strangling after circulating a video last week showing the officer using an illegal strangulation device to arrest a man in a street.
The police had suspended the officer, David Avanador, from work and froze his salary before arresting him yesterday, in return, his lawyer said in his first trial session that his client did not commit any guilt.

Strangulation devices
New York police have prohibited their personnel from using strangulation devices during arrests since 1993, saying they may lead to death. Earlier this month, New York State Governor Andrew Como signed legislation classifying as crimes, that is, the police use of tools to strangle detainees or place restrictions on their necks.
The legislation is part of a package of laws nationwide as a whole to reform the police in response to widespread protests calling for an end to police violence and racism.
On the other hand, the American New York Times published yesterday a report wondering why the Tucson County Police in the southern state of Arizona waited two months to release a terrible video of police violence during the arrest of a Latin American.
The video clip shows a Latin American citizen who is disgraced, the policeman tied his hands to the back while he was lying on the ground inside his grandfather's house, and the man, "Carlos Ingram Lopez" asked the police for more than 12 times without response, and said that he could not breathe due to His legs were tied with his stomach and chest, and it continued until the man died.
The Lopez autopsy report revealed that his death was a result of sudden cardiac arrest, and that pressure on his body due to the restriction and effect of cocaine were contributing factors to his death, and the report left the door open on the method of death when he indicated that it was unclear or whether it was a natural death or a murder.
