Mississippi Police Chief Fired After Talking About Shooting A 'N*gger 119 Times'

A Mississippi police chief has been fired from the force after he was recorded using racist and homophobic slurs as well as bragging about how many people he had killed.

Sam Dobbins was head of police in Lexington, Mississippi, the Board of Aldermen chose to remove him on Wednesday after the recording surfaced, which catches Dobbins saying 'I shot that n***** 19 times.'

Dobbins was recorded in conversation with Robert Lee Hooker, a former Lexington police officer who quit the force last week after complaining of a toxic work environment.

Hooker, who is black, is heard discussing hurtful comments Dobbins made in the presence of Hooker, though Dobbins seems unremorseful.

'Well, if you’re looking for an apology after I gave you an apology back then, you’re barking up the wrong tree,' Dobbins can be heard saying in a recording obtained by the Mississippi Center for Investigative Reporting.

'If you gonna let some words bother you, maybe this ain’t the place for you,' he continued. 'I didn’t mean anything personal by it when I said what I said.'

Dobbins says in the recording that he made the comment to silence Hooker, saying 'I'm just trying to get you to shut up.'
