School cop fired over ‘Ghetto Handbook’
HOUSTON – The city’s school system has fired a police officer for creating and distributing a “Ghetto Handbook.” The eight-page booklet, handed out to other police officers at a May roll call, said the definitions it contained would allow readers to speak as if they “just came out of the hood.” It was subtitled “Wucha dun did now?”
Gang investigator Roby Morris, 34, had worked for 11 years at the Houston Independent School District before being fired this past week, according to an investigation report released Friday. He had been on paid leave since August. “This incident represents an egregious violation of our standards of conduct and decency,” said school district spokesman Terry Abbott.
Morris told investigators he made the booklet to get back at one of his bosses. He also pointed out he is married to a black woman and that they have three children together, according to the report. Morris could not immediately be reached for comment Saturday.

“He also pointed out he is married to a black woman and that they have three children together, according to the report.” -Well then he should’ve known better!
why is that book different from ebonics? did he misrepresent the way that ghetto gang members speak? or maybe it doesn’t sound as cool when it doesn’t have a hip hop beat behind it.
He put in the handbook, hoodrat means scummy girl. Why does a school police officer need to know slang words such as hoodrat? He is perpetuating derogatory terms used against black women. The sad part is that his wife is black and thought this was ok.
Not suprising. A person can be racist and in an interracial relationship. They denigrate their spouses too. Blame low self esteem and an inferiority complex.
“He also pointed out he is married to a black woman and that they have three children together, according to the report.”
Now a days thats like saying “But some of my best friends are black” It dont mean jack! Just cause you sleep next to some one from another race doesnt mean you cant be a rascist.
You know what? This world is getting more ridiculous by the second. Why in the hell would you even begin to compile such and idiotic take on what one group of people and how they should be approached?
He got what he deserved!
