A Polaroid was released to the media displaying to white cops posing with hunting rifles in their hands standing over a black man with antlers on his head. The message is very clear, the cops are the hunters and the black man is the prey. One of the cops is actually an ex-cop and he has asked the police department to let him work again. They did a background check and found the photo and he is now going to court.
Although we don't really know the story behind the photo, if they were all friends are not, it still is a racially charged photo. It has sparked outrage among many, everyone shocked that such a horrible picture could be posed and taken.
