Racist, Vulgar Comments Allegedly Made By Task Force Member

MILFORD, MA—A member of a neighborhood task force in Milford made racist and vulgar comments during an inspection of a building at 44 Main St. last month, according to reports.

At a two-hour inspection of the property on Feb. 13, a police report indicates that a member of that task force pointed to the landlord and said "burn the building down" and "shoot that guy right there," reports the Worcester Telegram and Gazette.

The Board of Selectmen is investigating, and the report indicates that the person made numerous other "intimidating" comments in front of other people, including children. The police report, sent as a letter to the chief, also shows that the commentary started right away and continued through the inspection. An Indian immigrant and Milford resident owns the building that was being inspected.
