Well one might wonder about a President who has ties to Bill Ayers an unrepentant terrorist.

[lilylangtree]

Too bad Sen. Robert C Byrd can’t be fired for his ties to the Ku Klux Klan instead of being re-elected every 4 years and lauded by the RAT party & the congressional black caucus as being the elder statesman.

[bzybee]

Oh and lets not forget Senator Robert Byrd. Maybe the trooper should run for congress or better yet president.

that uses violence and terror to oppose the state’s founding principles of equality and tolerance

I'm guessing this little "precedence" can be used to remove anyone who is conservative and religious from the ranks...

doesnt count, there was an Omaha Police Officer connected to the black panthers nothing happened to him

What about the black KKK, the NAACP?

[Krankor]

What about Obama sitting in a church of hate for 20 years?

[Cicero]

Personally, I wouldn’t touch the Klan with a ten foot pole.

But how long has it been since the Klan committed any acts of violence? And how does that compare, for example, with Bill Ayres?

Or what about Obama’s support for Railla Odinga, who was responsible for burning churches and murdering almost a thousand Christian women and children JUST LAST YEAR? And Obama gave him a million dollars to help finance his thugs.

Does this mean cops can be fired for being members of the religion of terror?

[G.Mason]

If we are all going to be outlaws, then whether one belongs to the KKK, NAACP, Hells Angels, Black Caucus, MS13, The American Nazi Party, Obamies Brown Skin Volunteers, Fat Albert Sharpton's Thugs, or Jesse James Jacksons Fleecers, makes no difference.

We will all be shooting at each other, and the Nebraska State Patrol troopers will be home guarding their own families. ;)

[Cyman]

So does this mean that a state trooper can be fired if he/she is a member of a Pro-Life group? According to the justices warped sense of judgment, I could easily see that happening.

[Joe Boucher]

Ya think he’s have been fired for belonging to a black racist or black supreme group?

[ColdWater]

“with an organization that uses violence and terror to oppose the state’s founding principles of equality and tolerance.”

Other issues aside, is this a true statement now?

[LuxAerterna]

Someone who voluntary joins an organization whose entire purpose is racial bigotry and intimidation is not qualified to be a police officer. This country already has enough problems with rogue police and we need to make sure that police don't have any significant snags in their personal background that will prevent them from dealing fairly with all citizens.

That being said, I do believe that policing is also incompatible with other, non-white organizations that promote bigotry and hatred such as the Nation of Islam, the Black Panthers, etc., and membership in these groups should also be a disqualifier.

What about the black KKK, the NAACP?

Isn't that the NAALCP.

[Mark was here]

Isn't that the NAALCP.

Yes, I was just referring to the plane vanilla variety. Both the Klan and the NAACP both say the same thing, "We are not anti-them, just pro us". The way I see it is the only difference is the color of their arm band.

“doesn’t count”

As our new Attorney General says, it’s time to discuss race in the US. It’s time to make it count.

Henderson told an investigator that he joined the Knights Party to vent his frustrations about his separation with his wife, who left him for a Hispanic man.

He should have just converted to Islam; they would have likely given him a raise.

Would have provided him with a ready-made excuse for hunting her down, and beheading her, too.
