A female police captain in Indiana has been placed on administrative leave after telling a colleague he benefited from "white male privilege." During a Nov. 1 training session on the treatment of transgender people, an unidentified male officer with the Plainfield Police Department questioned a statistic suggesting that transgender people are three times more likely to experience police violence than others. "Most of the people that I know have never been, accused the police of violence … so I guess I don't get where that statistic comes from," the officer is heard saying in a video, per WRTV. Capt. Carri Weber, who is off camera, then says the officer is skeptical "because of your white male privilege."
The male officer asks, "Chief, are you going to let her get away" with the comment he describes as "extremely offensive." He went on to file a complaint on Nov. 10, alleging he was "racially and sexistly slurred" when Weber stated "her discriminatory views," per the Washington Post.
Weber was put on administrative leave Nov. 16 by Plainfield's Board of Commissioners, and a vote on Thursday could decide her future with the department. Weber also got into hot water in August, serving a two-week suspension after getting behind the wheel of a police vehicle after drinking at a golf outing; she also had beer cans in the vehicle. Female Cop Brings Up 'White Male Privilege,' Is Suspended
Wow...seems overly sensitive. That’s all it took for him to whine to his supervisor.
THAT'S how many men feel every time women complain about pettiness...
I don't believe the male officer truly felt "offended," but he wanted to make a point about how if their roles had been reversed and a male officer had said something about a woman, she would have pounced on it gleefully.

It likely has more to do with the prior charges against this woman ........ that they gave her a slap on the wrist for. She was the Asst Chief of Police and a Major in August when she was drunk driving in a police vehicle with beer cans in the car. She admitted to the violations and got a 2 week suspension without pay.
INDIANAPOLIS -- The assistant chief of Plainfield police is serving a two-week suspension for violating the department’s alcohol policy – but officers under her command say that’s not sufficient.
According to Plainfield Police Department written policy, “no officer shall operate a department vehicle within eight hours of consuming any alcoholic beverage. No officer shall operate a department vehicle or report for duty at any time with a blood alcohol level over .00 percent.”
The policy states there is “zero tolerance” for any officer operating a department vehicle with a BAC over .00 percent, and that violation of the policy is cause for automatic dismissal.
Plainfield officers reached out to Call 6 Investigates after, they said, they felt like they couldn’t speak up within the department.
“We feel our hands are tied because we fear retaliation if we voice our concerns and feelings,” the officers said.
It's more of the Leftist mantra of "Rules are for Thee, not for Me".

The officers told Call 6 Investigates that they feel like the assistant chief’s punishment makes a “mockery” of department policies.

“I can say the overwhelming feeling from the majority of officers is that she should have been asked to resign.”
He's not the snowflake... the one that ran her stupid mouth is the liberal snowflake. I'm glad he didn't just sit there and listen to this BS. Enough of this liberal hate for white men and their privilege. If you don't like it too bad.

I think both of them are snowflakes. He asked a question. She should have answered it in a way that did not label and accuse him. It would have been pretty easy to do, I think. But the trainee was also pretty thin skinned. He could have simply said "You haven't said where the statistics came from. You answered it by just labeling me. But I would still like more explanation of the numbers."
But if the trainer had other issues on her record, well, that's another matter.
