Officer suspended over parody videos

? A police officer who produced videos parodying life on the force was suspended Thursday after the mayor and police chief blasted the vignettes as racist, sexist and homophobic.

Officer Andrew Cohen, 39, said he was suspended for posting inappropriate and unauthorized pictures about the department on the Internet.

Cohen is one of about 20 officers expected to be disciplined for video clips that Police Chief Heather Fong called “egregious, shameful and despicable.”

The skits featured uniformed and plainclothes officers making fun of Asians, blacks, women and gay and transgender people, Mayor Gavin Newsom said.
