Ohio Troopers Canned for KKK Prank
It was just a joke, they said, a prank modeled on a black comedian’s skit the day before a black civil rights icon’s holiday. But the two officers from the Ohio State Highway Patrol involved in a camera-phone photo shoot in which one posed with a crude KKK-costume over his uniform while the other snapped away are out of work after a governor-ordered investigation.

Police chased the car down just after 10 p.m. Monday. The men inside were suspected in a shooting. But what happened outside the vehicle had some outraged Tuesday, NBC 10’s Harry Hairston reported. “I just burst out and cried. I was appalled at it,” said Shirley Hopkins, the mother of one suspect.
