at the top of the police union. Particularly after the recent events, it's a joke that anyone should even accept that a white supremacist can be the president of the police union. It's a slap in the face.

So much wrong in this letter even besides blaming Floyd which will go down well. This is fanning the flames at a remarkable level. He's part of the problem.
But there's also this suggestion in the letter that the use of lethal force would have been a factor in ending the protests sooner. This guy shouldn't be in charge of anything.
Maybe all those good cops shouldn't vote to be represented by white supremacists.
