๐จ Arkansas State Trooper Michael Austin Kennedy resigned after his wife filed 30+ screenshots of his white supremacist text messages in their divorce case including calling areas โN*GGERLANDโ bragging about detained Hispanics as โtrophies,โ and pushing to repeal the 19th Amendment.
The messages to his wife Alana were packed with racial slurs against Black and Hispanic people, rants blaming โillegal immigrantsโ and Black people for traffic and crime, and extreme views like banning Muslims from America. One message read: โYou donโt f*king hate them enough. The s*t that clogged up [their sonโs] toilet is worth more to me than any of them.โ
Kennedy also sent selfies posing with detained Hispanic individuals while on duty, calling them his โtrophy.โ
Alana amended her custody filing seeking sole custody. She stated his beliefs would โpoison the minds of the childrenโ and that the kids feared him because of his hate and irrational thoughts.
Kennedy resigned from the Arkansas State Police on May 15 shortly after the messages surfaced. In court papers he acknowledged the language but claimed it was โoutdatedโ and didnโt reflect his values today after therapy and church guidance. Arkansas State Police reviewed his traffic stops and citations and said there was no indication his views affected his job performance.
A man sworn to protect and serve all citizens was privately holding this level of hatred.
What screening or accountability should law enforcement agencies have so white supremacist views like these donโt stay hidden until they surface in divorce court?

The problem isnโt just one bad actor. Itโs an agency that increasingly seems to attract people who believe a badge, a gun, or federal authority puts them above the law.

Washington Post: Elias Irizarry, a convicted Jan. 6 rioter, has been hired by the Trump administration to work in a Pentagon office that oversees highly classified military operations, according to four people familiar with the matter.
The hire has raised alarm among staff, who question how someone convicted of taking part in the assault on American democracy could be trusted with such a sensitive role in the U.S. government.
Acting AG Todd Blanche said Trump, his family, and his businesses would still be shielded from IRS audits, even after the $1.8 billion slush fund was droppedโNYT
New statement from Scott Pelley:
โLast month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.
ย
For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. Iโve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.
ย
At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to โkeep up the good fight.โ Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.โ
President Barack Obama (@BarackObama) writes about Abraham Lincoln and what held the Union together when everything was working to pull it apart.
At the center is Lincoln's argument that individual liberty and the common good aren't opposing forces, and that a democracy survives only when its citizens keep choosing to bind their fates together.
