WBRZ article



quote:

The image was taken of undercover officers conducting a department-approved sting targeting drug dealers, Baton Rouge Police said in its statement.

The mayor added in a separate comment her thoughts, echoing the chief that policies have changed since the early 1990s: "While this may have been department-approved 25 years ago, that does not make it right. Blackface is more than just a costume. It invokes a painful history in this country and it is not appropriate in any situation."

Caption on bottom of photograph says "Soul Brothers"

Wait a sec, the two cops involved in the Alton Sterling shooting, were they on the force in 1993?

Solid policework, like this, is why the illegal drug trade is all but a memory in Baton Rouge.

The more I look at the guy on the left the more he looks like Paul Heyman from ECW or Brother Love from WWF.

Wonder if the officers' identities are known or not.

Robert Downey Jr's career survived his addictions, stints in rehab, and tropic thunder.

He went on to be Iron-Man, a positive role model to young kids.

Can his career survive #blackface?

Just think at the time going full retard was the offensive part of the movie.

We are getting better as a society.

Is anyone asking why they thought they needed to look black for people to think they were drug dealers?

Implement another tax on St. George residents to pay reparations. You know, like CATS.
