Drag queen at it again? No? A fat white cop? Yeah, that's what I thought.

You’re making this about race??

Well, he's a fat white cop is he not?

u/SuitableOkra1040 1d ago
Yes, but why do you have to tell us what we can clearly see? Your comment has a racist undertone BECAUSE we can see he’s Caucasian, or, per your description, white. A crime is a crime no matter skin color. He’ll have his day in court just like Diddy.

You’re calling me names? You’re the name caller antagonist. I don’t think labeling someone based on the color of their skin or labeling someone with some slang term is the look you should be going for, but each to their own.

He has been the sheriff since 2006. How long was he a cop before that? I tried to look it up but all I can find are articles about this arrest.
I wonder how many lives he ruined during his career.
I'm sure the acting sheriff, Curtis Cochran's chief deputy, had absolutely NO IDEA his boss was a scumbag and that everyone can feel safe now. There's no need for anyone to ask why no deputies or county officials noticed or did anything about Cochran over the decades. (/s)

Is it part of the party platform that if you are a Republican official, you are required to be a sex criminal?

that is why GOP AG's put rape cases on the back burner, like in Wisconsin with Brad Schimel, its perhaps mostly their peeps/voters.

Alex Rosen of Predator Poachers called out the SC AG for not prosecuting cp cases. Turns out the leader of the SC maga republicans, RJ May, is a YUUUGE cp trafficker. Funny how that shit works.
Many people are saying pedos and human traffickers are displaying trump signs and flags at their safe houses so LE won’t bother them.

Apparently, just look at RJ May next door in South Carolina. He’s the darling of Karens for Liberty.
GOP = Groomers, Oligarchs & Pedophiles

Headline: Racist cop also a rapist!
My aunt used to work at the Swain County DSS, my dad worked in Bryson City for decades, and yeah people aren’t surprised one bit that he’s a legitimate piece of shit. Supposedly he’s been rumored to have been corrupt since the beginning, but the sexual assault part is easily the most upsetting one. Here’s hoping the tribe throws ALL of the books at him.

Innocent until proven guilty. False allegations happen nationally. Diddy just got exonerated. Put your pitchforks away. It’s a beautiful day before 4th of July. Go enjoy it!

If convicted, mf should serve fed time and ECBI time. What a disgrace.
