To the Sheriff's credit Stacks was sacked back in September, instead of spending months getting paid on admin leave
Dude makes no sense at all man.

I don't understand why there is a picture of one of the victims instead of the police officer himself.
Hey. Right. What gives?
That is Stacks, his photo plus his two co-conspirators are at the link below

Umpossible, only white people are capable of racist acts. It's settled science.
Great guy this sheriff.
"I made a mistake. I was wrong. I was just trying to fix the illegal immigration problem. But should I lose my pension because of this. I have children somewhere (I think) I need to take care of"!
I wonder if his two hispanic co-conspirators will say they only did it to "have a better life in America"
"I was just trying to fix the illegal immigration problem."
Bull. If you were *serious* about it you would have blown those drivers away.

Nah, too much paper work. Plus, bullets are expensive. This is WAY better. It takes the profit out of being an illegal alien. If all the cops in Florida did this, the illegals would be paying cayotes to smuggle them BACK into whatever hellhole country they came from. Plus, he went home safely to his children and that's what really matters.
Former police officer Mavin Blades was caught doing the same thing here in Tulsa a couple years ago. As I recall, he got 35 years in prison.
