NYPD Officer From Suffolk Encourages Toddler To Say N-Word In Video

The New York Daily News has released a video of a NYPD officer from Suffolk County encouraging a toddler to use the N-word back in 2014.

In the video, the Delinda Giraldo, 29, of Lindenhurst, is heard laughing after her 2-year-old niece says the offensive term.

"She said 'n****?'" Giraldo says in the video. "Say it. Say it again."

Giraldo then defended her actions in another video, which was also shared by the New York Daily News. She said "it's not that serious."

Watch the videos here.

Giraldo's lawyer told the New York Post the videos were made in 2014, years before she became a police officer, and that the videos were made available by a former boyfriend, who she is currently in a legal battle with.

Members of the NYPD, under the "Public Contact- Prohibited Conduct" clause in the NYPD Patrol Guide, are prohibited from making disrespectful remarks regarding another person's race.
