Neo Nazi Alabama Cops Have Been Framing Black People For Years

Not only has this knowledge come to light, but we are also now being told that these officers belonged to a Neo Confederate hate group. Welcome to Alabama.

But every police force nation wide is guilty of racism and racist practices to one degree or another.

This is not a few bad apples and it is not confined to the deep South.
