The FBI is investigating after an apparent noose was found in the locker of a black firefighter in Bloomington, Minnesota, a spokesperson for the bureau confirmed to CBS News. The incident was first made public by the city's mayor, who said Saturday that "a piece of rope resembling a noose" was discovered in the locker on June 15.
"I regret to inform you about some horrible news regarding an incident at one of the City's fire stations," Bloomington Mayor Tim Busse said in a statement. "A piece of rope tied into what appears to be a crude noose was discovered in the gear locker of a Black firefighter at a Bloomington fire station on June 15."
Bloomington is only about 10 miles away from Minneapolis, where the death of George Floyd set off worldwide protests against police brutality and racism.
Busse said the incident was reported to fire department leadership on June 23.
"I am disgusted, angry, and embarrassed by this cowardly act. To be clear, this incident is very serious and is being dealt with aggressively," Busse said. "The City of Bloomington, including the Fire Department, is committed to being a safe and respectful place to work for all employees. We will not tolerate or, in any way, condone such behavior."
The mayor noted the "history of nooses being used as a symbol of hate and intimidation and a tool of horrific violence," and said he recognizes "that learning about this incident may be particularly traumatic for our Black community members."
Another apparent noose was discovered earlier this month in the garage of Bubba Wallace, the only black full-time driver in NASCAR, who also helped lead the push to ban the Confederate flag from the organization's future events...

Whites will have to start burning cities to be heard I guess.
The FBI must have a lot of time on it’s hands these days.
Well, now that I think about it, I have lost over $15.00 in quarters at this nearby Laundromat. The manager has a ‘Sorry, NOT Sorry!” attitude about it. Can the FBI ‘investigate’ that just for me?
Where did that occur? (the murder in the video)

When do we get our free Purge time like they've had for the past couple months?
We can only hope enough people realize prior to the election that we are heading into Marxism, tyranny and genocide.
