Officer May Be Fired After Playing Country Song That Offended Protesters [VIDEO] According to reports, a Chicago police officer is currently under investigation after his decision to play music loudly at a protest last weekend. The Chicago Tribune reports that the officer could be suspended for 10 days if disciplinary action is approved by Superintendent Garry McCarthy. The officer in question was caught on video playing Lynryd Skynyrds Sweet Home Alabama from his squad care as he oversaw the protest. The action was caught on video by Gabriel Michael, a 30-year-old Chicago resident that attended the police violence. According to Michael, the song is a glorification of racism. Some of the lyrics in themselves arent racistbut I know its also been co-opted by groups, maybe bigoted groups, as an anthem of Southern pride and those Confederate-type values, Michael told reporters. Thats what was so jarring to me. To hear that playing from a police car at the end of the protest against police brutality and the murder of African-Americans. It was just jarring. The police officer claims that he was only playing the song to show his support for the University of Alabama football matchup in the SEC Championship that day. Still, the Chicago Police Department claims that it fully understands sensitivities related to that song. They also claim that they cannot condone any behavior that may be viewed as disruptive or disrespectful to any protestor or resident. What do you think of the incident?
