In a terrible showing of managerial abuse and racism, a police chief in a small northern Ohio town is accused of leaving a racist note on a Black officer’s coat as a “joke” — seemingly oblivious to the security camera filming the entire incident.
Nicole Acevedo of NBC News has reported that “surveillance video from the Sheffield Lake Police Department in Ohio shows the longtime chief printing a note reading “Ku Klux Klan” and placing it on a Black officer’s raincoat.”
According to Acevedo, “Sheffield Lake Mayor Dennis Bring said he was made aware of the incident, which occurred last week, by the police union. Chief Anthony Campo was immediately placed on administrative leave pending a review of the video.”
