PINE BLUFF, Ark. – A casual conversation at a grocery store in DeWitt, Arkansas, led to a racist rant betweenMiddlebrooks was on the receiving end of verbal threats from Wright after she made a friendly encounter with a Black employee. She secretly recorded Wright as he expressed rage and repeatedly used a racist slur against Black people.
In a limited capacity of 90 people allowed in the courtroom due to COVID-19, many community members expressed their hurt, anger and outrage among themselves as they waited for their turn to vocally express it directly to Wright, who sat in the corner of the courtroom. Arkansas County Judge Eddie Best made it known to the public the court did not have the authority to fire Wright and could only request him to resign.As the floor opened for public comment family and friends of Clark addressed Wright with hurt in their voices and pain in their hearts.
The media attention of the viral recording reached millions of ears, attracting the attention of civil rights leaders and national activist abroad. “I traveled a long ways to let you know Todd, it’s unacceptable,” she said. “You wonder why we riot. You wonder why we loot – because you’re teaching us what hate is. That is not what we want to do.”“Mr. Wright, you need to resign today but beyond that, the policing in this county has to be totally changed,” said Arkansas County Attorney Furonda Brasfield, who is pushing to get a county investigation by the FBI for the alleged corrupt system of law enforcement in Arkansas County.
Good
This is why Police are killing us. How many more undercover Racist cops are there!
Hey Nikki Haley. There is no racism in America?
A friend of mine told me Trump was necessary. He had to get the quiet silent racist to expose themselves for all of America to see.
separation of church and state allows this kind of behavior to continue, we need new laws, forcing someone to resign is not the same as being terminated, no job out there should be protected from termination, because it makes folks think they are above the law
One of the challenges we face are the bigoted run southern states. Vote them out of their positions and let’s make the south better.
I’m sure Trump Campaign will use him for giving motivational speeches to GOP
What chance did anyone have of justice with a racist sheriff? Good riddance 👏 Weed them all out!
It is sick how he attempted to manipulate others with his 'Christianity.' Too many who do not follow the teachings, but rather act completely contrary to them, are hiding behind such claims. Simply sitting in a pew does not a Christian make.
Y'all being played by the media. Plenty of racists around, and they aren't all white. The media just has their sights set on the white.

One of the only positive things about Trump is that he emboldens racists to speak out, costing them jobs of power and influence...
IAmSophiaNelson See you later sheriff. Arkansas is a better place with you on the bench.
CalThunderSnow When racism raises it's ugly head, it is time to resign!
Now lets look at his past cases.
America is changing. It is time people like the sheriff realize civil equality, protection, and safety will be justified and realized with or without his help. America will triumph over civil discrimination and racist attitudes. Trump will not prevail with his racist rhetoric.
Racists love to play the victim
Trumpty dumpty's America
Good keep them coming. Who was that that said we need to drain the swamp 🤔 well damn it drain it.
Republicans condemn racist language. Meanwhile BLM protesters are screaming racist language on megaphones all over America, but the press ignores it.
The devil's in the mirror.
It’s crazy how many racists don’t think themselves racist.
If you don't like someone's belief's that is your right not to agree just as much as it is for them to have their beliefs and not free with your! This isn't COMMUNIST CHINA NORTH KOREA OR ANY OTHER DICTATORSHIP! LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT BUT STOP TRYING TO CONTROL OTHERS FREEDOMS!

I know if your offended by words that is your opinion! Even though you don't agree with somebody's views! No one is big brother communist in our country to have that kind of influence! It has been going on+needs to stop!
Same appears to be true by the description, proven wrong by video, of the actions of the shooting of a young Black father in front of his children. Do NOT underestimate the negative effects of tRump on racists and white supremicists. He is destroying our country.
Remember people Bill Clinton served as Governor of Arkansas. 🤔
Why Americans need to support those using FREEDOM OF SPEECH! The person using it may not truly believe in racism or whatever they can change their minds! No one has the right to ruin a persons livelihood because of something they say! If you have a public job your done quickly!
USAToday, the racial division news agency.
Racists always eventually show themselves.
you love to see it
Ok, he got busted. I see people happy about it. But, I'm more concerned about the officers who served under him?! Do they share his beliefs as well? Just wondering?
You mean the sheriff worked for and earned the opportunity to look for another job. Or Thanks to sheriff’s racist remarks, the community now has a great opportunity to hire someone who will serve everyone!
Probably a prerequisite to be Sheriff in Arkansas...
When do we fire Arkansas?
If there is no more racism in our country if there is no systemic racism - why do these stories keep,showing up, one,after the other,after the other...?

Racist sherriff in Arkansas. Not surprising at all.
America will always be remembered in history. RIP Let's save it NOW!!! IWILLVOTE BidenHarris2020
When will this happen in Kenosha?
Rabid Trump has infected the souls of gullible; frighteningly, much like Hitler did! America is no longer immune from the Fascist culture this Con-Man's Power-Hungry, Instability has sought to create! The sickness must not be permitted to fester! Reps are no more; WE Can't Wait!
Unrecognizable America! No longer land of liberty & justice for All! What used to be Rep party of 'Conservatives' & 'family values' is No More! Narcissistic Con-Man-in Chief has denigrated decency & decimated dignity; Reps' code is loyalty to a corrupt authoritarian!
And he has the gall to say 'this is not who I am.' That's EXACTLY who he is.
Good!
Good
No police. Mob rule. Total chaos. That’s the result of the Democrat agenda. Ask yourself: Is this what you want in your town next? ↓
This is Trumps America
