From [HERE] The NAACP is getting involved in the controversy surrounding some e-mails East Hampton police chief Matt Reimondo sent last year from a town computer.
Reimondo is under fire over what some residents are calling racist emails. One email depicts President Obama as a witchdoctor. Another shows a rap musician with spiky braids and suggests he was shot like a deer.
Reimondo sent the emails last year but they came to light last week when a former city councilor filed a complaint A letter of reprimand was sent to the chief and made public at Tuesday's city council meeting.
Reimondo has apologized, but NAACP officials said the town’s investigation didn't go far enough and they might ask state and federal lawmakers to cut the town's funding.
