2 Ohio State Troopers FIRED For KKK Prank
Word on the street is demoted Ohio State Trooper Sgt. Eric E. Wlodarsky and Trooper Craig T. Franklin, have been terminated from their law enforcement positions as a result of what has been termed by other media outlets as a prank involving a KKK costume. NOTE: How ironic it is when some folks participate in offensive acts they are minimized to being described as pranks or school boy jokes.
Seems Trooper Franklin wore a Klan-like mask and Sgt. Wlodarsky took his picture with a cell-phone camera in January before forwarding the photo to a colleague. After the picture came to light,
Franklin was suspended for five days and Wlodarsky was demoted and took a pay cut. Both transferred from the patrol’s.
Our sources have not disclosed who gave the order to end Wlodarsky’s and Franklin’s employment relationship with the State of Ohio, but we suspect it came from someone with more statewide authority than Colonel Richard H. Collins, the Superintendent of the Ohio State Highway Patrol or the director of the Ohio Department of Public Safety, Henry Guzmán.
We think Sandusky is a miniature hotbed of racial controversy. We seem to remember some racial camflamma in that not so sleepy town involving firefighters, a firefighter commander and an allegedly drunken fire chief. Sandusky, Ohio a microcosm of the nation, our society, and how we daily deal with race.
We think better leadership is needed in this northern Ohio town in order to change the unacceptable image of this small town located smack dab between Toledo and Cleveland on beautiful Lake Erie. Perhaps intelligent leaders can be found and recruited at nearby Bowling Green State University or maybe some Buckeye can be persuaded to lead Sandusky into the 21st Century. The people who live in Sandusky deserve better leadership and should demand better leadership. But isn’t that what American citizens everywhere should be doing?
