Two cops forced to step down amid allegations they're KKK members

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)....

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.

they were gonna expose klan members, but i dont recall anything coming of that. did i miss it?

people know who they are. they need to step forward. we know that there are many, many klan members in law enforcement, as there always has been. you dont get away w the kind of crimes that the klan gets away with w/o help on the inside.
