(12,875 posts)What with releasing the name of the wrong police officer (who wasn't even an officer) and all... and for the wrong reasons... but maybe there's other "research" being done on this by more responsible parties out there... I dunno.
I'd like to believe that there's a conspiracy by KKK to infiltrate the police but given how red exurban Missouri is, especially on race, or perhaps how red most of rural America is PARTICULARLY BECAUSE of race (look at Kentucky's Democratic candidate proclaiming herself a Hillary Democrat as if to imply she could never vote for a black man over a white woman in 2008, or rural MD turning out to vote against a black person in the governor's race there) I suspect it doesn't take a conspiracy.
Not when you have first responders getting on Washington Post bulletin boards (never mind reddit!) in the wake of Katrina bragging about how they had the power back on while people were still dying across the river and how glad they were "those people" weren't being allowed to cross the bridge and escape and potentially "loot our community".
