A Chicago police photo stirs ire and prompted online backlash. The photo showed two white police officers holding guns and kneeling next to a black man laying on the ground and is wearing deer antlers on his head.
The Chicago police photo prompted claims of racism and the termination of detective Timothy McDermott. The police detective was fired long before the photo became public and was published by the Chicago Sun-Times on Tuesday. The other white Chicago police officer in the photo is Jerome Finnigan. He was convicted on income tax evasion and murder-for-hire charges and is serving a 12-year sentence in a federal prison.
