[ARCHIVED THREAD] - CPD cops posed for photo standing over black man dressed in antlers

Posted: 5/27/2015 4:34:03 PM EDT

It’s a racially charged photo the Chicago Police Department didn’t want
the public to see: two white cops posing with rifles as they stand over a
black man lying on his belly with deer antlers on his head.

Why do you assume the black guy isn't a cop? You racist!

Looks like 3 cops horsing around to me...

Guess not after reading the article.
Although, It appears as if the 'deer' is a voluntary participant. Maybe a CI?

Picture looks old as hell? When was it taken.

Stupid, and in poor taste regardless.

ETA: picture from 1999-2003. Didn't know people still wore jeans like that as recently as '03.

One of the cops in picture locked up for doing some "Training Day" type shit. Robberies, home invasions, etc...

Not surprising.

Federal prosecutors gave the photo to police investigators in 2013 about two years after Finnigan — the notorious other cop in the picture — was sentenced to 12 years in prison for leading a crew of rogue cops in robberies, home invasions and other crimes.

Chicago.

Finnigan was part of the now-disbanded Special Operations Section, an elite police unit that allegedly robbed suspected drug dealers and innocent civilians. He led a crew of SOS officers who broke into homes without warrants and conducted illegal traffic stops to commit shakedowns.

Keith Herrera, another officer and co-defendant in the SOS case, wore a wire to record Finnigan discussing his plans to have another officer killed because that officer might cooperate with the federal probe of SOS.

IIRC they also went into restaurants and bars as well as houses and robbed them because that's the Chicago way.

Somebody did not get the memorandum.

Black people may only be used as props in photos of a comedy value only if they are in a superior/dominant position to the white participants.

That's what I thought... until I saw this in the article:

But a Cook County judge has refused to keep secret the shocking image of former Officers Timothy McDermott and Jerome Finnigan kneeling with what the police department says is an unidentified African-American drug suspect.

Posted: 5/27/2015 7:22:07 PM EDT

They are really reaching to try to call that racist and get a reaction from people. A picture from 15 years ago, no less.

Screw the race baiters.

Meh, I laughed.

Not as bad as FBI posing with burned bodies in the background at Waco.

Sorry, I've been over-offended by every single thing on the planet lately, so my offense organs have been overloaded.

I don't see a problem with it.

I also fail to see a racial component to it.

Sounds like they were fans of The Shield
