Hello All, My name is Raymond Carnation. I was a Philadelphia Police Officer that opposed racism against African Americans in my department. I along with two other officers were then retaliated against and then fired for coming forward . This occurred under the command of William Colarulo now a chief inspector. In May of 2008 we won our Precedential Federal Racism Case Myrna Moore vs. The City Of Philadelphia D.C. Civil Action NOS. 99-cv-01163. This ten year nightmare has inspired me to campaign to ask President Barack Obama to place police racism on our national agenda. I am seeking national attention on this serious problem and hope that Oprah,20/20 or Dateline can do a story so the public and our President can take direct action. Any effort from you and your staff would be greatly appreciated even if you can pass this story on to the media or other government officials. Thank you for your time and concern. Below are the articles on our story so you will have a better understanding. Together we can make a positive change for all.
