Maybe Twitter Should Allow Hate Speech. Then We’d See What Cops Really Think About Us.

Today’s reminder that the boys in blue wear red and white comes from no one other than veteran officer Aaron Paul Nichols. The former officer resigned after Anonymous Comrades Collective found a bunch of his penned hate speech and — thanks to the magic that is “The Way Back Machine,” no amount of dirty deleting will get rid of them.

Here are a couple of my favorites:

“Not a big fan of jews.”

“I’m currently in the 30A area. It’s less White than my hometown. This does not bode well.”

“Meh, I’ve got 3 years left and my supervisors know I’m not doing any unconstitutional bullshit. Never have, never will. I play by the actual rules. Most of the guys at my 200+ man department feel the same…I despise the government and have for nearly 3 decades. The best place I can possibly be is inside the beast. I’ve done a lot of good in my careers.”

“I have no desire to live in a world where negros can own Italian supercars.”

“N*****s ruin everything…[e]ven if it’s White doing the stealing they’re likely selling the meat to blaq [sic] run restaurants or trading it to n*****s for dope. Real talk.”

Top Cop even had the nerve to say the quiet part out loud when it comes to all the hesitancy behind Judge Jackson’s nomination:

Dirt Farmer

He must not have gotten the memo that Ketanji is backed by the FOP.

Speaking of impartiality, it is pretty sure that Aaron’s Critical Race Theory made its way into his policing practices:

Cop Discretion

No word back from FedSoc on if this violates affirmative action policies.

I think this is the one that really takes the donut:

“…I’m a n****r harm reduction specialist and we have minimum manning requirements. Someone has to clean these streets.”

Whether its been Black mothers, Black comedians, or internal FBI data, decades of soothsaying and lives taken by our “protectors” have pointed to how systemic racism and straight-up Nazism has infiltrated our police departments. Despite all of this, people still have the nerve to bring up defending Nazis as if its some hypothetical event — and of course, much like the  former officer excusing White thieves because Black people are allegedly buying the stuff, the fault falls squarely on our shoulders.

Maybe, like with most things, folks will actually listen when the white guy says it. What would it look like if we took the self proclaimed “[p]atriot, 20 year retired veteran, cop, constitutionalist, news junkie” at his word? That there are 200+ people on his force that feel the same — read: they are sleeper agents — and these are the people protecting and serving Black communities in Illinois and elsewhere. Maybe we’d start looking at copaganda with a critical eye?

Forgive my naivete. I know people will just keep using the wrong apple metaphor that, if it was used as it was meant to be, proves our point. C’est la vie.
