Black Philadelphia police sue over message board, say it's racist

I know there is a racial divide in Philly but in the police department that's another level. In this article Shelley Smith, Philadelphia's city solicitor, said. "The lawsuit is about a private Web site. It's not a police department Web site. It's not operated or overseen by the police department. The allegations against the city and police department are misplaced."
First of all the site is not a police department site but, the officers did feel free to use the site at the station and they were accused of openly making racist remarks so the allegations against the city and police department are not misplaced,they brought the racism from the site to the police department.
