Robert Copeland, the now-former New Hampshire police commissioner who was overheard referring to the President as a “f*cking n*gger” and refused to apologize, saying in an e-mail, “I believe I did use the ‘N’ word in reference to the current occupant of the White House. For this, I do not apologize – he meets and exceeds my criteria for such,” has resigned–but has not apologized.
After around 100 people turned out to publicly denounce Copeland and numerous calls for his apology and resignation from residents, State Senator Jeb Bradley(R), former Senator Scott Brown(R), and even Mitt Romney(R), Copeland has swallowed his pride and written a thoughtful and intelligent resignation letter, in which he begs not only the President’s forgiveness–but that of the townspeople he has hurt and embarrassed. Nah, we’re just kidding! This is his actual resignation letter:
The not-so-surprising resignation letter, released Monday, was sent to the chairman of the Wolfeboro Police Commission Sunday night. Well, he may have proven to be too bigoted to swallow his pride and apologize–but at least he is gone. We don’t always get everything we ask for.
