The body camera video of Officer Rose Valentino is disturbing.

“We hold all of our employees, and especially our sworn police officers, to high standards. The report finds Valentino’s alleged actions are in violation of CPD rules prohibiting verbal or written expression of any prejudice or offensive comments concerning characteristics including race. She allegedly denied having racial biases that have affected her work and argued the incident was an isolated “mental episode.” She said she was “not classifying the whole race with her statement,” according to the report. Valentino also acknowledged in the interview she was not mentally healthy, according to the report. She was surprised that it came out in this context, and its use did not represent who Officer Valentino is as a person or how she feels about African Americans.” It summarizes her interview statements on the matter as follows: ‘Constant exposure has allowed this slur to slip into Officer Valentino’s vernacular. The officer argued she had been desensitized by music and hearing people talk on the street, according to the report. The report quotes her as telling investigators, “This is a hard job, and I was getting to a point where I was really being affected by it. At that time, a Black teenager who appeared to be a CPS student walked past and raised his middle finger at the officer, which “infuriated” her, the report says. Valentino then rolled down her window and told a Black woman in one of the cars, “You need to move,” according to the report. She allegedly yelled over her air horn, “You got to move, f*****g ridiculous.

Valentino activated her lights and siren to signal for the cars to move and “became angry when they did not,” the report reads. As she pulled into the station driveway, she saw several cars lined up on the street to pick up students from the school. Per the report, she arrived at the District Three police station to complete an offense report. Valentino, 40, was on duty in a marked CPD vehicle. The incident happened April 5 outside Western Hills University High School, according to the investigative report. Thank you so much for visiting my shop.No word yet on punitive measures against Valentino, though the city’s administrative regulations require a 40-hour suspension on the first offense for employees who use a racial slur while on duty.
