Well here we go...
Guess who dug this shite up? None other than the OT’s favorite, Gravy Chambers!
More info and OUTRAGE! in the article
Found Gravy’s link in case anyone wants to read his drivel.

A photo that recently surfaced of two white Baton Rouge police officers covered in dark make-up and in costume — snapped before a 1993 undercover drug sting in a predominantly black community — has the capital city now part of the nation’s recent reckoning of racist images.
While the police department has explained that the photo was related to an undercover narcotics operation from 25 years ago — one the police chief at the time recalled as “very successful” — current Baton Rouge Police Chief Murphy Paul issued an apology Monday about the photo. "Blackface photographs are inappropriate and offensive," Paul wrote in a statement. "They were inappropriate then and are inappropriate today. The Baton Rouge Police Department would like to apologize to our citizens and to anyone who may have been offended by the photographs."

The photo, which was posted online this weekend by The Rouge Collection, shows two officers, Crimestoppers coordinator Lt. Don Stone and now-retired police Capt. Frankie Caruso, posing above a caption that says 'Soul Brothers.'

I'd love for everyone to just have everything they've ever done laid out for all to see. Would you survive it? I wouldn't. It's doubtful Gravy would either.
The SJW mob mentality in this country is disgusting.

Great pic!

I’d call that more hispanicface than blackface.

No reason at all to apologize for a picture taken 26 years ago, IMO.

That’s not black face.
That’s over application of tanning products.

I doubt that blackface was useful in an undercover operation lol.
But also, I keep hearing that blackface is offensive due to the historic minstrel acts. So why is this photo offensive? This is just guys wearing makeup. Liberals need to just admit that white people are not allowed to wear black makeup no matter the intent or context.

So wait, these 2 guys were serving undercover? How tf was that mission successful? That photo does not even look convincing. Most guys who are in that street world are constantly on the lookout for undercover cops. Yet 2 guys who colored their skin black going around calling themselves soul brothers passed the litmus test.
I'm so confused.

So they were in disguise?
If they are going to be gone after for this then jimmy kimmel and jimmy fallon must be destroyed as well

This country is fricked

If they went with their cracka arse faces, the cover would have been blown.
What’s the deal?
