So there was a Lake Arthur cop that just got fired for leaked photos of him participating at a KKK rally last year... Don't worry, you'll hear aaallll about it. Not sure how they got out, but the timing of this being brought to the media seems planned.. Regardless, it's wrong and it's not helping the LEO's cause out at all. I've been reading some of the comments on the case, and people (black and white) are taking off with it. "KKK has been infiltrating the police force for years and it finally is coming out," etc. etc. All of his past arrests are under review. Some of these people, local people, people I grew up with, are saying some wildly violent things all of a sudden towards cops. This, obviously has some truth to it, but the amount of ignorance, and manipulation I see when scrolling through my Facebook is incredible. People outraged about wild accusations from completely unreliable sources. No fact checking, just automatically assume they're true. At least read the name of the website first.. If a "news" site posts something and the headline has spelling / grammar mistakes, it's probably not a good idea to trust their info.
