    Ebonics translators????

    Good Day all,
    I heard some news on radio that the DEA wants to hire ebonics translators . I dont know if this could be for real. Have anyone of you hear of any LE departments that have ebonics translators

    Without a whole lot more evidence than this, I have to call Shenanigans. Ebonics is not a language, it is an English dialect. No one is hiring translators to understand what people in the South are saying, or in the Northeast, either.

    If I could just find a translator that could speak "retard" my jurisdiction would be much easier to police.
