2 Cops Resign After Allegations They're KKK--5 Yrs Ago Officer Was Pictured In Pointy Hood, Robe --Bad career move

One Florida police officer has been fired and another has resigned amid allegations that they are both members of a local branch of the Ku Klux Klan.

Fruitland Park police have confirmed that Deputy Chief David Borst, 49, resigned, while Officer George Hunnewell was dismissed on Friday after the allegations were made against the officers in a confidential FBI report by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE).

It isn't a criminal offense to be in the KKK, but local police chief Terry Isaacs said the document was given to him to consider how the allegations might affect the officers' credibility and the perception of the department in the community.

He told WFTV that while he had no proof or documentation the men were members; ‘I've read the report, and it's convincing.’

On Friday, Isaacs began preparing an internal investigation and put the men on administrative leave.

Borst, a veteran officer with more than 20 years of law enforcement service was also Fruitland Park's fire chief.

He denied involvement in the group but resigned both posts on Friday after requesting time to speak with his family.

Lsaacs asked the city manager for approval to fire Hunnewell based on a review of the officer’s record with the department.

He had been demoted from corporal in 2013 and received five ‘letters of counseling’ in the past year.

‘I just had no faith in him,’ Isaacs told the Orlando Sentinel.

Both officers names surfaced as part of an international probe being conducted by the FBI.

They turned the investigation over to the FDLE to look into the standards and ethics policies to see what action should be taken.

FDLE officials also agreed it wasn’t criminal and so referred the case to Isaacs.

    So we must also go after those officers who are or who have ever been a member of the NAACP. Clearly the NAACP is a racist, biased org that hates white people. Any separatist groups binding people by skin color (NAACP) must be abolished.
