White Driver Claimed to Be a State Trooper Charged with Hate Crime for Yelling Racial Slurs
“I’m an off-duty trooper, you f—-ng stupid n—-r,” Ryan said as he pulled away in a red pickup truck.. “You’ll always be a n—-r. You’ll never be white. You’ll never be white. F— you!”
“That’s how troopers act?” Mclymore asked.
“F—- you,” Ryan said.
The news station reports that the New York State Police said Ryan is not a trooper.
“I just couldn’t believe it,” Mclymore said. “I couldn’t believe the racial epithets, him saying that he was a cop or a trooper. Most of all, him doing what he did, and he’s an older gentleman.”
“Forty-five years I’ve been living here. Nobody’s ever done anything like this. Nobody has ever put a box cutter to my face or anything like that or disrespected me in any way,” he said. “So I was shocked. I replay it in my mind probably every three seconds.”
The video footage sparked outrage in the diverse city, however, McLymore said, he forgives Ryan. The pastor and his son were not injured, in the incident but Ryan punctured Mclymore’s cellphone case.
“There is no place for hate in our community,” Newburgh Police Chief Anthony Geraci said. “Mr. Ryan will be held accountable for his criminal actions and deplorable speech. His racist threats were not only harmful to the victim in this case, but echoes deep within our city.”
Newburgh Mayor Torrance Harvey, a Black man, said he was surprised to learn of the incident.
“I just couldn’t believe somebody would use those words in 2022,” Harvey said.
