They outed themselves.
Coming soon to this message board; haters embarrassingly whining about white people being oppressed and being unfairly fired for their beliefs, blah, blah, blah…

The removal of this officer was a positive move for the State of Florida. It was my experience living in Florida for 3 years, that the Florida everyone thinks about is the Florida of the coast and the keys. The culture of these areas is much different from the center part of the state that runs south from the Georgia border and ends at the Everglades, the area of ranches and sugar plantations. The culture of this area is more like rural Georgia,and very different from the culture of the coasts. Like rural Georgia, there is Klan activity in this area. It is my guess that some corrections officers in prison facilities in this area, may be active in the Klan. Investigation of this possibility may be a worthwhile project for the SPLC. My opinion or guess is based on the general attitude of the population to “outsiders” from the coast that I experienced while traveling in this area of the State.

There is no reason for this officer for being fire. The KKK is a group not a gang. He may beleive in whatever he wants too.
