But according to The Daily Beast on Wednesday, the controversy surrounding Baker may be just beginning because he also has a history of racist anti-Asian content on social media.
"In a Facebook page associated with Capt. Jay Baker of the Cherokee Sheriff's Office, several photos show the law enforcer was promoting T-shirts with the slogan 'COVID-19 imported virus from CHY-NA,'" reported Pilar Melendez and William Bredderman. "'Place your order while they last,' Baker wrote with a smiley face on another photo that included the racist T-shirts. The photos on Baker's account were first spotted by a Twitter user."

(2,636 posts)There needs to be a housecleaning.
Every law enforcement officer in the nation, federal, state, county, city, town, sheriffs, meter maids, dog catchers, every one of them should be required to undergo a psyche evaluation or assessment for racism. Not just biases, but out right prejudice and racism. It's not like the signs aren't everywhere.
National Guardsmen and active military, too. One simply can not protect and defend the Constitution or serve and protect the public if one is a racist, white supremacist, nazi-adjacent "western Chauvinist." Those ideologies are antithetical to the actual Constitution, which they've never read, past "We, the people."
