Ohio police chief out after leaving 'Ku Klux Klan' note on Black officer's coat
Source: NBC News through AOL
Surveillance video from the Sheffield Lake Police Department in Ohio shows the longtime chief printing a note reading Ku Klux Klan and placing it on a Black officer's raincoat, according to the city's mayor.
Sheffield Lake Mayor Dennis Bring said he was made aware of the incident, which occurred last week, by the police union. Chief Anthony Campo was immediately placed on administrative leave pending a review of the video, Bring told NBC affiliate WKYC of Cleveland.
"I said, 'I don't want to even hear about it," Bring said, describing his conversation with Campo. "I said, 'You've already have admitted to it.' And I said, 'You've got 10 minutes to get out of this office.' I said, 'I want your keys, badge and thats it. Get out.' "
Bring said he also met with the officer following the incident to apologize for Campos actions.
