Old fashioned All American values

It’s a good thing there isn’t any racism in America anymore that’s all I can say:
For years, white supremacists in a Dothan, Alabama, police department planted drugs and guns on black people. According to Internal Affairs documents obtained by the Henry County Report, their superiors, several of whom have since been promoted, knew about the practice and helped cover it up. Indeed, the lieutenant implicated by the documents is now the chief of the department. The sergeant who obstructed the Internal Affairs investigation went on to become sheriff and then director of homeland security for the state, a position he continues to hold today. The district attorney at the time (still in office) sat on exculpatory evidence and proceeded with felony prosecutions against the individuals the officers had framed.
Oh, and many of those involved belonged to racist organizations that believe the civil rights movement is a Jewish conspiracy too. Who says we’re losing all of our traditions?
