A former Baltimore Police officer who performs as Al Jolson is raising funds support the officers charged with the death of Freddie Gray

I'd add that puking emote thing, but I can't seem to find it.

4. I take some small comfort in reading "former police officer".

Racist bags of shit. I sincerely hope Karma hits them all, cold and hard, when they least expect it.

I give up on any justice system doing the right thing.

7. Worse yet, he was fired for doing that act.

Berger was dismissed from the Baltimore Police Department in 1984 due to his off-duty performances as the late Jolson, one of history's most well-known Blackface performers. His dismissal came after 3 years of tension between the officer and his employer due to his act, with both parties spending a decade in court as a result. Ultimately, Berger settled with the city in 1991.

so it's not that he does not know there is a problem.
but apparently current cops there seem to think the act is just fine.
Sheesh.
