C-bus Oh Police union president made 'racially insensitive' remarks on social media, complaint says


snip-"The president of the local chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police is under investigation after a complaint alleging he made racially insensitive comments on social media, according to a copy of the complaint obtained by the Dispatch.


snip-"The issue revolves around Simpson's response to posts about the Jason Aldean song, "Try That in a Small Town." The song and music video drew wide criticism for lyrics and images that invoke racism, with the music video being shot in front of a courthouse where a lynching took place.


snip-"Simpson replied, saying, "I hope this song goes to #1. The tolerant left is off the hook. People need to stand up and not be moved. Keep fighting for this country."

Simpson commented in response, "back in the day that was the penalty you got for doing really bad things. Today you get nothing."

More there & no pay wall.

1. Unfortunately, expected

I have no expectations when it comes to police anymore. I have a few friends and family with NYPD. I’d love to say they all aren’t assholes, but one really is.
I’ve played golf, chess, drank with them in my younger years.
But nothing would surprise me now.
