Did he fuck with you just because his wife would not blow him that morning? As you notice the other troopers still lie and maintain they heared nothing,lol When any cop of any color denies they use the words "nigger,spick,dyke",etc, you know they are lying. State trooper eyed for alleged hate speech By Dave Wedge | Thursday, April 22, 2010 | bostonherald.com | Local Coverage A veteran state trooper is under fire for allegedly making racist comments to a Nigerian real estate broker and calling him a “terrorist” during a heated confrontation at a Patriots [team stats] game at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. Lt. David Rea allegedly called Oryema Anuonymere “a monkey” and the “N” word during the Dec. 27 dust-up on Route 1 and repeated the comments back at the barracks in front of other cops, according to complaints filed by a fellow trooper and Anuonymere. “He called me a monkey, a nigger and a terrorist. He said I should go back to my country,” Anuonymere, who has lived in the United States for 20 years, told the Herald. “It’s a terrible situation. I’m afraid. It’s been very difficult for me.” Anuonymere filed a complaint with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination while trooper Kris Bohnenbergerlodged a separate complaint with state police brass making similar allegations against Rea. Bohnenberger’s complaint, which was filed two days after the incident, alleges the veteran cop recounted the confrontation inside the barracks, calling Anuonymere “a knuckle dragging monkey.” Rea, the brother of radio host Dan Rea, also spouted other “chilling” racial epithets during a “boisterous and arrogant” tirade in the Foxboro barracks, the complaint says. “He indicated that the suspect stated, ‘You’re only doing this because I’m Nigerian,” the trooper wrote. “Lt. Rea then claims his response was, ‘No, I’m not. It’s because you’re a (expletive n-word).’ ” “These comments not only sickened me, they violate every ounce of integrity one strives for,” Bohnenberger wrote. State police spokesman David Procopio said the complaint is under investigation, and Rea remains on active duty. Bohnenberger, who said he has never met Anuonymere, declined to discuss the incident except to say, “I stand by my complaint 110 percent.” Rea declined to comment and referred questions to his attorney, Timothy Burke, who rejected the allegations. “He’s got an unblemished history of 30 years. There’s never been even a slight indication of racial animus,” Burke said. “Both incidents were witnessed by other troopers, who have all been interviewed and deny either occurrence.” Bohnenberger’s complaint alleges the inflammatory statements were made in the barracks in front of trooper Mark Hannon and Sgt. Doug Weddleton. Hannon declined to comment while Weddleton said he did not hear the alleged racist comments. The flap began when Rea and trooper Denise Adams were undercover at Gillette and spotted three men, including Anuonymere, allegedly involved in a ticket-scalping deal. In court papers, Rea alleges Anuonymere was “uncooperative” and “pushed” him in the chest. The incident happened two days after the thwarted Christmas Day airline bombing involving a Nigerian-born terrorist. Adams said she never heard Rea make any racist comments. “He’s a leader of leaders. He’s certainly not a racist,” she said. Anuonymere was not arrested but was summoned into Wrentham Court to face charges of assault and battery on a police officer, which are pending. Article URL: bostonherald.com
