The Ohio Civil Rights Commission has charged the Columbus Division of Police with moving too slowly in its probe of alleged racism by a white officer. An internal investigation and a commission probe determined Sergeant Eric Moore called black officers racially charged names, and once talking of killing African-American officers. The threat was made as the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was investigating Moore for allegedly ordering an illegal kit to convert a semi-automatic into an automatic weapon. Moore was suspended in October and received a written reprimand in May. A police division spokesperson declined comment on the commission's allegations. The division is moving to fire Moore for improperly claiming nearly 10 thousand dollar in overtime pay and other alleged violations.
