That is the entirety of the article.

There is a second part:

The images circulated by authorities in New Jersey and Pennsylvania included an apparent driver’s license photo that showed Dare’s neck tattoo reading “Blood Honor.”

“Blood and honor” was a slogan of the Hitler youth. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a variation is also associated with an array of skinhead gangs.

Users on Twitter and reddit began combing through Dare’s then-public Facebook page, flagging other photos showing iron cross tattoos on his wrists and the head of a pitbull, which is an image connected to a Pennsylvania skinhead group according to the anti-Defamation League.

During the search, authorities noted in their description Dare’s “visible tattoos on his neck, arms, and hands.”

Is he being harshly punished by being forced to go on fully paid leave while the investigation is happening?

Unless these tattoos are brand new, the agency has a whole lot of explaining to do. Many people he worked with must've been aware of the white power tattoos.

White supremacist law enforcement in this country? Let me know when they catch the other tens of thousands of them.

You clearly misread or misunderstood their comment. Try reading it again. It's obvious they're pointing out that regardless of how egregiously a cop behaves, they're often "punished" with paid leave.

And yet another reason State troopers are hated by all, including other cops.

So you mean to tell me people that are paid to investigate crime, didn’t realize a white supremacist Nazi covered in tattoos was working amongst them until basement dwelling redditors alerted them to it? My god they look incompetent or complicit.

Ha, in the last story about this there was user all over the thread saying he got them for undercover work. So much for that 🤷‍♀️

Tee hee, we never had any idea and never saw his tattoos- his colleagues and superiors probably.

Do you realize what you just said? Is he being punished while the investigation is happening? How does that make sense to you how can you punish someone while you're trying to figure out if the facts are actually facts? Police are put on paid leave during an investigation because during the investigation a person is completely innocent until they are found guilty at the end of the investigation. So it is 100% proper for him to be paid during an investigation now once they find that he is at fault at the conclusion of the investigation then he can be punished.

Know if you read his question he's asking if they were punished before the investigation is finished which makes zero sense. That's people just upset that a cop is being paid before he's found guilty. That's just stupid people being upset about something they don't understand. You cannot punish someone before you're done finding out if they actually are guilty that's why cops are still paid during an investigation because they have not been found guilty yet.

I just read an article today about a cop that was busted by internal affairs in a conspiracy to sell drugs in 2015. He went on to film a rape he committed and showed to a bunch of people in 2017.

He is still under investigation today and getting his full salary (over 100k) in 2023.

His own cops busted him and then he promoted his own rape video and he is still getting paid/investigated.

How do you justify this one?

When I saw Rage this summer at MSG the place EXPLODED once it got to that part. I’ve been to dozens, maybe over a hundred concerts at this point in my life and I have never experienced anything like it. It was incredible.

what's funny is, if you admit that you've taken drugs during your application to be a trooper you are disqualified. yet somehow becoming a drug addict wile on the job is totally fine.
