DEI disaster: Miami police officer ‘Shenequa’ accidentally shoots another cop during routine call…
Aside from being blatantly racist and disrespectful—giving the subject a fake name and using a cartoonified image of Patrick Star to stereotype Black women—the article goes out of its way to blame the subject's mistake on her supposed inability to perform her job due to her gender, as if similar incidents haven't already occurred with white male officers. The article includes problematic quotes such as, “If you’re pulled over by a lady cop, it’s time to hunker down and crank up those survival instincts—because odds are, you’re about to become the victim of a ‘whoopsie’ moment.” This is deeply concerning because the article weaponizes a tragic moment to undermine DEI initiatives that aim to reform workplaces and reduce the likelihood of such accidents. Instead of viewing this as an opportunity to improve training protocols or address individual accountability, it generalizes incompetence across multiple marginalized groups—while once again ignoring more severe and fatal incidents where female officers were not the perpetrators.
