So I just ran into an article that really blew my mind. Apparently an Ohio highway patrolman was photographed in a handmade Ku Klux Klan costume while on duty the day before the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
Craig Franklin, a 12-year veteran of the Ohio Highway Patrol, is pictured in the Jan. 20 photo with a white cone on his head, white paper mask and a white cloth covering his shoulders, according to a highway patrol report.
Highway patrol officials began an investigation after the patrol’s Administrative Investigative Unit received an anonymous letter that included two photographs of Franklin in the outfit, an interoffice memo said.
The officer stated that it was supposed to be a joke based on a skit done by comedian Dave Chappelle.
Honestly, I don't care who copied who, but doing something like this is just stupid. In the end, the guy got demoted and had to attend diversity class. At least it's something, but definitely not enough.
