Officials, law enforcement decry use of racial slur during police transparency meeting

A Zoom meeting about police transparency on Friday afternoon was disrupted by an attendee who used a racial slur, prompting officials to publicly condemn him.

Around 4 p.m. during the meeting, someone twice messaged panelists with racist slurs, and was immediately ejected from the meeting, according to a press release about the disruption.

Minutes later, a man was given the chance to provide public comment and used it to say a racial slur. After about 15 seconds of silence, a moderator announced he had been removed from the webinar.

It's unclear if the same person was responsible for the three instances. The person or people were not immediately identified.
