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.

and he knows EXACTLY what he's referring to. Most people who were lynched, including PREGNANT women, CHILDREN & ELDERLY AA were amongst the people who were lynched, INCLUDING 14 y.o. Emmett Till for things they DIDN'T DO. Let's not even begin to talk about how lynching is cruel and unbecoming to a nation that prides itself on liberty and ACTUAL justice. ALL American's taxes pay for the salaries of LEO's and IF he can't understand that mob justice IS NOT justice, that he's tasked with protecting EVERYONE,then he needs to go see about getting a gig working in the armies of another country, like, I don't know, SOMALIA, POL POT'S CAMBODIA, THE GULAG ARCHIPELAGO, just sayin'.
