Did anyone else notice the cop at the court house give the white power sign to Jr

as he was entering the courthouse? I was out but was just getting caught up and I have not seen anyone talking about it but it was as blatant as could be and I sure hope that cop finds himself without a job tonight.

I do see that the three fingers the cop holds up are different than the three fingers in your picture. egduj Nov 2023 #23
That doesn't look like the white power symbol I've seen racists use, which is more like this: chia Nov 2023 #16
I think it was three wrong three fingers to be the white power sign. TomSlick Nov 2023 #17

The whole white power hand signal thing was a fake story to begin with and this wasn't even that fake hand signal, which was I've always known as the "OK" signal.

Why are we like this . . .

Although, let's be honest. 4chan convincing credulous journalists all over the internet that OK is really a white power thing will never not be funny.

So. Are we going to get those students who physically harassed a Jewish student at Harvard expelled or what? If people want to find out real names and have real life consequences for stuff they see online, let's start with some verifiable bigots, shall we?

What the heck is three outstretched fingers supposed to mean? I thought an ‘O’ sign was somehow supposed to represent white power. I can’t keep up with this stuff.

The cop, I mean. I don't know WHAT Dolt Jr. looks like but it's likely found in the middle of a country music festival porta-pottie.

Maybe someone was asking him something and he simply said "three" with a visual aide?

Not saying those three fingers don't mean something else, like for the 3-percenters as has been suggested, but I think I'm gonna wait on this one.

He was holding up the middle three fingers - as one would to signal three.

As best I can ascertain, the white power sign is more like an OK sign.
