San Francisco: More offending videos -- this time it's police officers.

SAN FRANCISCO - A police officer who produced videos parodying life on the force was suspended Thursday after the mayor and police chief blasted the vignettes as racist, sexist and homophobic.

Officer Andrew Cohen, 39, said he was suspended for posting inappropriate and unauthorized pictures about the department on the Internet.

"I don't know what's going on," Cohen told The Associated Press. "I've never been in trouble before."

Cohen is one of about 20 officers expected to be disciplined for video clips that Police Chief Heather Fong called "egregious, shameful and despicable."

Just wanted to offer a reality check -- San Francisco may not be the liberal oasis you think it is. The 49er's had a similar scandal earlier this year. You'd think these officers would have heard about it. This sort of humor reveals much more contempt for the citizens of SF than compassion, imho. And please don't ask me to cultivate an appreciation of "gallows humor". I'm not laughing.
