Read full article: Park police sergeant who avoided suspension after racist joke no longer with the departmentSAN ANTONIO – A San Antonio Park Police Department sergeant, who avoided being suspended after telling a racist joke while on duty, has left the department months after the KSAT 12 Defenders exposed the incident. The sergeant confronted Burns over the incident, records show. “I have never been and never will be okay with a joke like that,” the sergeant wrote in a statement provided to Park Police internal affairs. In November, Burns signed a written reprimand admitting that he showed poor judgment in sharing an inappropriate joke, records show. Records about Burns' racist joke were provided to the Defenders earlier this year by a source who believed the information should be public.
