The existence of the group came to light when a lawyer for Brooklyn Defender Services was doing research on a police officer who arrested his client on gun charges after the parade. Sgt. Dustin Edwards's Facebook profile showed that he belonged to the group, and attorney Benjamin Moore told the Times he found the comments "astounding" in their "reckless explicitness." Here are some of the lowlights, according to a copy of the discussion obtained by the Times:
One commenter referred to working the parade detail as "ghetto training," while another recommended relocating the parade "to the zoo."
The safety of cops should be more important that the safety of "the animals," said one.
"It's not racist if it's true," declared another.
"Welcome to the Liberal NYC Gale, where if the cops sneeze too loud they get investigated for excessive force but the ‘civilians’ can run around like savages and there are no repercussions," one person opined.
"Why is everyone calling this a parade," a group member asked. "It’s a scheduled riot."
Another suggested, "I say have the parade one more year, and when they all gather drop a bomb and wipe them all out."

I am not surprised , because they are not the only Organization that want the West Indian Day Parade to be removed from Eastern Parkway . The Jewish Sect that has its World Headquarters on Eastern Parkway has for years asked the City to stop the Parade .
The West Indian Parade was not started at Eastern Parkway , it took years before it got there . However when it started being celebrated at Eastern Parkway , the Jewish Sect was not on located on Eastern Parkway .
Frankly , at this point in time the West Indian Day Parade aint going to be moved from Eastern Parkway , the City generates too much money from the Vendors who sell stuff on the Parkway , and have to get a license to do so from the City ; The influx of West Indians coming from Toronto ; Boston , New Jersey ; Pennsylvania etc . The Merchants in Brooklyn; the Hotels ; Bars ; etc make a lot of money . The Parade is therefore going to be on Eastern Parkway forever.
