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?
๐๐ฐ This is the man who defended Rick Chow. He also is married to a wh___ woman.
"I know Shaun Kent he doesn't need money so why is he defending a raci__ store owner who chased and shot a kid in the back. The kid didn't even steal the water. All the ๐ฅท๐พ lawyers in Columbia turned it down. They went all the way to Manning to find you bro.They hired you as a pawn smh. Shaun is a good lawyer but bro ain't no way!!! We have to boycott his services."
All money ๐ฐ ain't good money.
