>> Michigan police officers is on administrative leave right now, while city officials investigate
why he had a Kuklux Clan application framed in his home.
And also why the whole place was decorated with confederate flags.
I'm always fascinated by why there are confederate flags in places like Oklahoma, Michigan.
I don't know, it's not part of your history, but okay.
Here's more info, Muskegon City Manager, Frank Peterson, was alerted to Officer Charles Anderson's
disturbing memorabilia.
After an African-American man toward the white officers home, which is for sale, according
to the statewide news site Mlive.
Now, Rob Mathis wrote on Facebook that the five bedroom home was littered with confederate
memorabilia.
The KKK application was hanging in one of the bedrooms and it lacks a name and the signature,
and we also have found out about this same officer.
He, actually, 10 years ago, shot and killed a black man in, although he was cleared of
any wrongdoing, here's this info here.
In 2009, the 48-year-old officer killed a 23-year-old man, Julius Johnson, after the
man fled on foot after a traffic stop and they allegedly beat the officer in the head.
Anderson had been called in as back-up apparently relating to the smell of marijuana
>> So serious, okay.
>> He said he shot Johnson because he feared for his life.
And local prosecutor said Anderson was justified in using deadly force.
>> Of course, when someone is running away from you on foot, that is when your life is
really in danger because they might get away after having hit another officer which would
hurt your feelings.
And so probably, best time to execute them, it doesn't matter, if you're gonna be cleared
on all charges pretty much every single time in America.
So, anyway, so that's that case that was from about a decade ago.
In terms of the clan memorabilia, etc, two things I'd like to note if you're rooting
for the Confederacy, you're rooting for traders cause more American deaths and battle than
any other war.
The traders that you celebrate.
That's just the fact, they committed treason and they fought America.
They killed Americans.
And if you're celebrating the KKK, apparently you love terrorists.
The biggest terrorist America has ever seen was the KKK.
If you don't agree to that, you're wrong and probably a weirdo racist.
So what, lynchings, no, not terrorism?
Burning across some people's lawns to terrorize them, not terrorism?
Bombing churches and killing little children, not terrorism?
Obviously, the biggest terrorist for centuries in America.
So if you're a cop celebrating terrorists is a curious thing to do.
And finally, look if there's a professor that has Mincoffs in they're library, likely they're
doing it for research and reading it and people should read it so they know the terrorism
and can know about the warnings.
If there's an African-American professor who has a KKK certificate on his wall, he likely
is doing that for historical reasons, research reasons etc.
Could it be that it's a non African-American professor or someone else, etc, that has that
kind of interest, but on an intellectual level so that they have end.
And you would have to back that up with some context for that person no matter what their
race is, being great on civil rights issues and then having that as a warning in their
house, hey, never forget, etc.
If you have someone who has not been great on those issues, and their house is littered
with Confederate and KKK material, well, that's a different story.
And if you can't see that that's a problem that there's a cop going around with a gun
and a badge, again, there's something wrong with you.
>> And in a society that you would hope stands for freedom, liberty, justice for all, they
would maybe look into reopening that case.
Considering that now we see something that is potential leading to some sort of bias
in a situation like that, with someone, unarmed and running away, being shot and killed.
But, this is a society where 90% of police officers, when shooting unarmed folk, are
let off and never held accountable.
So, I cover this subject religiously, and issues like this should surprise me but they
don't.
Accountability is one of the biggest flaws basically in law enforcement in the United
States.
Because then it allows people to slip through the cracks, and I know everyone likes to say
it's only a few bad apples.
But if you never hold bad apples accountable, then they continue to, I don't know, rot the
whole department and you never seem to see any issues like this coming out when people
aren't held accountable.
But we see also is like Betty Shelby who shot and killed Terence Crutcher of giving classes
on how to overcome that really tough situation in her life.
We see officers like Timothy Loehmann, who shot and killed Tamir Rice, being rehired.
We see officers like Pantaleo not being held accountable until what?
Five years, and now he's only being suspended now.
So all of a sudden, this cop who has these prejudice, I don't know, the whatever memorabilia
in his house.
>> He's outright racist.
>> Racist, and now all of a sudden, it's like, well, it did shoot and kill a black man back
in 2009.
But let's focus on this right now.
Well, why was this never brought up at the time?
Because you're trying to tell me no one else knew that this man had some sort of bias or
prejudice in the system is because we continue to allow police officers to be rehired or
put in different positions without being held accountable.
And what happens is they slip through the cracks and they continue to ride this system
that I want to believe in, but until you hold officers accountable, issues like this will
continue to come up.
>> And what are we gonna find in this investigation?
What is the answer when you say, why do have all of these Confederate flags?
Well, because I believe in states' rights.
The one right they were fighting for was the bad one.
That was it.
>> Yeah.
>> And it's just like, so what is his answer gonna be?
>> Yeah, it wasn't like, hey, we really wanted the right to be able to produce hemp in our
states, no!
>> No.
>> It was about slavery.
>> We were not slaves that was you know-.
>> And anyway.
>> Right.
>> I don't wanna get into that conversation it's the last thing.
I agree with Francis on reopening the case because, guys, if we had found a certificate
from any other terrorist organisation in a cops house, we definitely look into all of
this cases.
>> For sure.
>> Imagine you going to a muslim cops house and you find a certificate from ISIS, you
think you might want to reopen investigations, especially one where he murdered a Christian.
>> Right.
>> Right?
>> It already be held accountable such as often northern Minnesota.
>> Yeah.
>> The officer that was held accountable for that.
>> Exactly, and that's the most extreme case and we've never even had that of a certificate
of ISIS or anything like that from a cop, but the KKK is just as much of a terrorist
group.
