UPDATE: TCPD officer flies Confederate flag
Chief: Internal investigation underway after Trump protest

TRAVERSE CITY — An off-duty Traverse City police officer wheeled a pickup truck affixed with a Confederate flag outside a local protest against President-elect Donald Trump, cracked open a beer and drew a confrontation from an African American rallygoer.

The flag ruffled an otherwise-peaceful event Friday, when hundreds of locals descended upon the Open Space for the "Love Trumps Hate" rally. Marshall Collins Jr., of Traverse City, raised a fist in the air as the truck circled the event.

Collins, who is black, later confronted the white man who drove the truck, parked it in a restricted zone and sipped a Bud Light while a crowd grew around the vehicle. He said the man denied the flag's history is steeped in racism and division.

"It means a lot to people like me," Collins said. "It means hatred."

A photograph from the incident circulated on social media following the confrontation. Police Chief Jeff O'Brien on Saturday confirmed the man depicted was Officer Michael Peters, a 18-year veteran with the department. He said a sergeant will conduct an internal investigation starting Monday.

"That’s not what the Traverse City Police Department represents," O'Brien said. "We are to provide protection for everybody. The Confederate flag is not something we consider an oath of office. We take an oath of office to the Constitution, not the Confederacy. I personally feel that flag stands for hate and hatred."

Peters couldn't be reached for comment.

Now this is just stupid. The whole point of protesting is being visible to the public; if you're worried about being identified, wear a mask and some gloves.

"Here's a big, beautiful avatar for someone"

That was a rough Q&A there are the end. I found it fascinating that he kept skirting the question "What would happen to you if you actually told us secret information?". I would think "Punishment , up to charges of treason" would have been a good answer, but he didn't want any part of that. Maybe speaking the about the repercussions is one of the secrets?
He tried hard to avoid the Q&A all together ('Why don't they just ask me at the bar?')

Yes, there is nothing misogynistic in demanding that women conform to the mode of dress you dictate or be condemned to the flames.

Misogyny is a fabled beast like the tigger or the tarrasque. Only one can ever exist at a time, and it currently lives in brown people land. You can also say whatever you want about race as long as genocide exists, since there's only one racism as well.
