Chicago police are investigating a recording which captures racial slurs made in an apparent exchange between officers and the dispatcher captured on the department’s radio feed for Morgan Park and other Far South Side neighborhoods on Saturday, March 12 at about 8:30 a.m., DNAinfo reported.

In a dispatch recording that came out on Monday (scroll down for sound clip), a male officer could be heard saying, “Typical [Explicit]  n-----s” and in the same recording, “Black lives matter, my [expletive].”

It’s hard to determine if the two comments were made by the same voice or not. 

The statements made are absolutely unacceptable.
