Remember, gun suppression advocates think that cops are the only people who should have access to effective self defense.\

"Smith's unabashedly racist and hate-filled language in his communications included regular references to Black individuals as 'n\-\-\-\--s' and numerous references to the Ku Klux Klan, including one --- just after his retirement --- in which he wrote, 'Now the real \[S\]mith will shine. I even shaved my head. Klan,'" wrote Ryan Harris, the assistant U.S. Attorney on the case.\
\
"Following his retirement from the NYPD, \[Smith\] stated that he would brandish his firearm in front of Black individuals to terrorize them: 'Bro I point my gun out the window now at n\-\-\-\--s and watch their reaction and drive way. Hilarious,'" Smith allegedly wrote in another text message, according to prosecutors.\
\
In one recording, Smith called himself "one of the most corrupt cops in the 105 (precinct)″ and said that if he wasn't a cop he would have been "locked up so many times," according to prosecutors.\"\"\
