Why can't a cop be a member of a "hate group"

apart of a "hate group"

So, not a member?

Because they're sworn to defend all citizens, including your idiot arse.

Is this a serious question?

There is a cop under investigation right now in Plaquemine Parish for being in some kind of anti-gay group.

Is this the guy that is in trouble for "liking" a Proud Boys page?

I mean its not "illegal". But I'm pretty sure most departments have some sort of policy against it so as not to have to deal with the legal ramifications when an officer has a complaint filed against them from a person that said group has issues with. It would be a massive headache to the department from a legal and PR standpoint. If you dont understand that, I dont know what to tell you.

There are plenty of things that aren't illegal to do but will get you fired if your employer finds out about because it is against their policies.

So you are telling me that a guy that believes in separatism cannot protect another race from a crime?

---

yes, and cops don't protect people from crime.

To protect and serve the public, which is made up of all the people hate groups hate. If you are apart of a hate group and you agree with their morals and values then there will be some sort of bias when doing your job. No other way around it. Would you want a female surgeon doing surgery on you if she genuinely hates men?

That's one of the reasons that I quit Facebook. I just don't want to be scrutinized by my employer or a potential employer because I liked a distasteful meme or something like that. I deleted mine during the last presidential election.

Yep.

I just use it as an address book and occasionally like a baby picture.

As far as the OP's question, cops are the enforcement arm of the government. You can't afford to have people in that position who are openly prejudiced against any particular group.

As a white man, I would prefer that a black cop who pulls me over is not a Black Panthers. And I can't speak for any black people, but I would imagine they would not be too thrilled if a white cop who pulls them over, isn't a KKK member.
