A white Ohio police chief has been forced out of his job after he was caught on video putting a Ku Klux Klan sign on a black officer’s desk — in what he claimed was a joke between the two colleagues.
Sheffield Lake Police Chief Anthony Campo — a cop for 33 years — was caught on surveillance video taking the KKK sign from a copy machine last Friday, officials said.
He then carefully arranges the bright yellow hooded raincoat seemingly to resemble the hood and robe used by the racist hate group. The video, which has no audio, shows the black officer discovering the disturbing display moments later and confronting his chief — who told him he had to wear the coat and sign all day, according to WKYC.

What a dope.
What a moron. What incredible display of stupidity. And this idiot was allowed to handle a firearm and arrest people.
That joke went over like a lead balloon.
Good riddance. Should be charged with a hate crime, convicted, and lose pension.
The whole thing is ridiculous. It was a sick joke. They’re literally crying about it because “this is the worst thing you can do”. Really? To a grown man police officer.
I think we’ve destroyed generations with this idiocy.
A grown man has to cry if you put something racist on his desk and tell him something stupid?
He hired and admired that officer and the officer cries and wants him destroyed over idiocy.
Monumentally stupid.
Epically stupid.
Stupid squared.
CC
He deserves to lose his job and eligibility to work as a cop anywhere in the country. Idiot.
Are we sure this guy wasn’t trying to get fired? No way he didn’t know what would result?
It’s on film but he wasn’t “caught”. He told the guy the ridiculous joke that he’d have to wear that all day. Maybe he’s a stupid man or a crass man but please it was an absurd joke.
No he shouldn’t do it but was there any real racist intent?
It doesn’t matter. In this day and age, he’s proven he’s too stupid to be a police officer.
Such a clever, nuanced joke. Black guy....Ku Klux Klan....get it?
It’s 2021.
Certainly totally harmless to make jokes about the Democrat founded KKK to black coworkers .
There is no way anyone in 2021 would not have a problem with that .
Right?
That joke went over like a pregnant nun.
“Good riddance. Should be charged with a hate crime, convicted, and lose pension.”
You don’t even try to hide your leftist extremism anymore.
Lighten up, Francis.
Maybe he should be fired, but there’s no crime here.
Hate crimes I don’t agree with at all. That’s how you get kangaroo courts.
Seriously, a *HATE CRIME*? Is there such a thing as a *LOVE CRIME?*
“Hate Crime is THOUGHT CRIME*. What are you supporting here?
I really depends on his intent. Was he trying to intimidate the guy? If so, that is a crime. If it was a idiotic joke, still bad, cost him his job. What does the victim say?
Ha ha, very funny.
