The New York City Police Department suspends an officer without pay and ordered to be drug tested after videos posted in 2014 of her encouraging her 2-year-old niece to say the n-word resurfaced Tuesday, July 4.   

Officer Delinda Giraldo's lawyer claims that the videos were 10 years old at most and were filmed newly six years before she joined the force. “She’s not denying she’s a part of those videos,” said the lawyer, Eric Sanders, who is black. “The bottom line is, ‘Who cares?’ ” At the time of the recording, Giraldo was 18 or 19 years old and now, the 29-year-old plans to sue the NYPD for $100 million for suspending her and suffering from harassment from male officers. 

“She said n—–?” Giraldo asked in the Instagram video obtained by the Daily News. “Say it again. Say it again.”

“She said ‘n—–!’ Giraldo hollered. “Say it! Say it again!”

According to an exclusive from The New York Daily News, the officer is Colombian and claims that it is okay for her to use the racial slur because she is from the hood. “If you from the ’hood, you should know that that s— is not derogatory,” said Giraldo in one of the five videos posted to Instagram.

But this story has another strange twist. The officer claims that she was in an abusive relationship with another officer on the force, Michael Martinez.

The two have been in a heated legal battle because he claims that the woman has made fictitious domestic abuse calls against him. Giraldo told the Daily News that he broke her nose and arm, choked her and once had her “pleading for her life.”
