Sounds like a history of criminal activity by at least one of the former officers.
The officer is in for 15 years. He must have done some bad stuff. Still, funny this just came to light. More fuel for the race fire.

Chicago. A city with daily shootings, killings, completely corrupt politicians, huge budget problems, and a slowly dying economy and yet we get huge amounts of false outrage over a staged photo.

It looks to me like the guy with the antlers was in on the joke. The outrage on this thread is much ado about nothing.

I can imagine the response if the picture was a coupler of guys posing as thugs holding a guy with a police uniform and a pig mask.

You just can't do stuff like that. It's unprofessional and God knows if you ever find yourself in front of a jury, some lawyer is gonna dig that stuff up.

Remember in the OJ trial when they asked officer Fuhrman is he had ever used the N word and he said no? Then they played the tape of him saying it about a dozen times?

They deserved to get fired. They are too stupid to be Leos.
Yes! Things like that always gets out. The photo does look staged, stupid but staged. This was 15 years ago now? I dont think anything will come of it.

Stupid photo. Staged or not.

But there are more important things to worry about. People are being murdered, and people oversees are trying to murder us.

But social media will be in uproar for 2 weeks because the guy wearing the antlers is black.

The uproar when the blacks were running around and knocking out random white people in the "knockout game" wasn't trending like this stupid photo is.

This incident happened ten years ago and the one policeman was charged. The other brought up on other charges. Stupidity is all around us.

Because of the comical expression on the face of the black man, it looks like this was a staged photo, with a willing participant. Neither cop is still a member of the police force.

Article says it "agonized" before publishing the photo. Really? A photo that was taken between 1999 and 2003? Just another stir to the pot.

That is a pretty silly photo. I didn't know the "deer" had been arrested and the photo was taken at the police station. I thought they were all a bunch of buddies who probably had one too many beers and were messing around.


The photo reminds me of the ones taken at Gitmo where the detainees were made to form naked pyramids and female guards pointed at their man bits.


Did anyone else notice the psycho serial killer death stare from the guy with the hat? I wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley.

That is exactly the intent. Media is complicit/following orders?
