>Others say the symbol is simply a reference to the child's prank known as the "circle game," which tricks victims into looking down at a circular gesture near the prankster's crotch. Local residents identified that game when shown the photo, according to ABC, and O'Mary says he did not ask what the officers meant by the gesture.
>"It's a kid game. Going around and hitting everybody when you see it," one town resident told ABC.
>The four officers, part of the city's drug enforcement task force, will be suspended for two weeks without pay. O'Mary defended his decision to the news station by reporting that two black officers on the city's police force spoke with him after it was made, saying they agreed with the suspensions.
>"We talked to two senior African-American law enforcement officers that are on the City of Jasper's payroll and they think it's fair and that's a pretty good sounding board."
>The Anti-Defamation League, which tracks hate groups and hate speech, has said that the "OK" gesture is not necessarily linked to white supremacist movements.
Im glad the white mayor checked with the bruthas on the force to make sure they were down with his decision.

>Fat, middle-aged white cops in Alabama >Being racist
Uhhhh, no shit. Does that surprise anyone? Who would expect retarded-sounding white cops in the South with their stupid accents to be secular progressives lol....
Ryder Bailey
I'm genuinely sorry that one of our pranks led to retarded leftists seriously thinking the OK sign is a symbol of White Power and suspending police officers over it. This is 100% all our fault.
Wyatt Miller
Kek. So what will we turn into hate symbol now?
Noah Diaz

>the ADL backed off Never in all my days.
Joseph Wilson
Dude, if the ADL isn't siding with you on this story, maybe you're being trolololod. 2 weeks without pay is pretty harsh.
Thomas Phillips
Yeah I was going to continue LARPing as a BLACK man making fun of wh*teb0is but it’s just sad at this point. I agree, shit’s pretty fucked up right now.
