This is a police officer in Weirton, WV who thought it was okay to display a lynching on Halloween



This is a police officer in Weirton, West Virginia who thought it was okay to display a lynching in his front yard on Halloween.

Even after it made a few neighbors uncomfortable, he refused to remove it. He works as a school resource officer. #EndRacism #SurvivingAmericasPolice


----------------------------------------------------------
The letter he splattered with fake blood and is holding up is the letter that neighbors sent him, politely asking him to take the "display" down:



And his Facebook post:



Here's an article describing this creep in greater detail. I think he needs to lose his job. Now.

His reaction to the polite letter says everything one needs to know. It pegs him at a 10 on the 1-10 Trump scale of narcissistic, self-promoting, sociopathy. Not only could he not see the wrong his neighbors so politely pointed out, he mocked them by posting the letter and his response about hurting feelings on FB. With a picture of him and fake blood on it.

He is another sociopath like Trump.
