Pictured here Ohio State Highway Patrol Trooper Craig Franklin, dressed in his Ku Klux Klan outfit while on duty the day before Martin Luther King day.The Racist Trooper is assigned to the Sandusky Post where by no coincidence there are no African American Troopers assigned to the Bigoted Post.
Trooper Eric Wlodarsky told Investigators of the Ohio Dept. of Public Safety that the photo was taken as a joke, photos of the KKK Trooper were transmitted by cell phone.
It is of little surprise that this activity continues. Former Executive Director Jim Roberts of the Ohio State Trooper's Association, the Union representing State Troopers would often times refer to Gay Troopers as "Fagots" in his Columbus, Ohio Office. At one such interview with Jim Roberts a few years ago, he specifically referenced a Toledo Trooper as a Fagot.
Investigations have been launched against persons associated with the Ohio State Highway Patrol based upon sexual orientation, race & gender which Bigoted Troopers from the Patrol's Headquarters have targeted.
At a State Patrol Post in Columbus, a Confederate Flag has been proudly displayed inside the personal locker of a State Trooper.
The Trooper that wore the KKK outfit while in uniform, only demonstrates a long pattern and undistinguished history of Racist Troopers past and present with the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Ohio Democrat Governor Ted Strickland could not be reached for comment.
