The Anniston Police Department in Alabama has just suspended two officers for their involvement in a white supremacist group.
Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola (Think Tank), and Hannah Cranston (Think Tank) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
“The Anniston Police Department in Alabama knowingly employs neo-Confederate sympathizers, the Southern Poverty Law Center reports.
Josh Doggrell is a Lieutenant on the force.
He is also the founder and chair of his area League of the South chapter.
The League of the South (LOS) is a white supremacist organization that calls for southern states to secede and establish a Christian theocratic state run by “Anglo-Celtics.” Doggrell has belonged to the group since 1995.
During a 2013 LOS meeting, Doggrell told the gathered crowd that his supervisors at the department were not only aware of his racist affiliations, they actively agreed with them.”
