Wait, he's one year away from retirement and this comes up?! Almost sounds like he was all for the jokes until he realized he could cash in on the current political climate.

Let's be clear. It will NEVER be considered an off-color joke for a white police chief to put a Ku Klux Klan note on a Black officer's raincoat! This video recorded incident, in addition to other alleged demeaning acts of intimidation, are racist, sadistic and demoralizing.

I'm thinking , racists are embedded in the ranks of law enforcement depts across these US; especially in the former Confederate states !

Just an observation, but so many of your cops are severely overweight. How are they going to catch the bad guys?

At times like this, unions are bad. This chief should have been fired on the spot. Eliminate desk duty or paid administrative leave.

MalcolmNance I'm guessing it's 'all lives matter' for the chief?

Is there any sensible reason to capitalize Black, but not 'white'?

MalcolmNance Ohio Sucks

Disgusting. Good on the union rep doing his job btw.

It's a shame he has to work with one of Lucifer's advocates 👹!!

Lol, come on man…. People think this really happened?

MalcolmNance Some of those that work forces Are the same that burn crosses

MalcolmNance Does this Chief Campo still have his job? If so, why?

SMDH 😡😡😡😡😡

I keep telling people, that they don't care no more. It's a lot of white people that are racist, they never went no where and when Obama won twice that balled them up, then Trump said it was ok to be racist this is our country.
