Just goin’ by the name in the article:
“The officer, Sgt. Jim Parker, said he didn’t expect the situation to escalate as quickly into a ‘long, drawn out drama.”
Sounds like a cracker name to me but I could be wrong, just guessin’.
Looks like Sgt. Jim Parker is half Hispanic, or possibly Filipino, etc., but not 100% Caucasian so he can’t possibly be RACIST! /s
