Noose Hung in Long Island, NY Police Station
Looks like the dreaded noose is on a roll. The latest noose incident involves a noose that was found hanging in a Long Island, NY police station. The police station is one of the most diverse police departments in the state, prompting claims that such a despicable act is “out of character” for the community.
No one is sure why the noose was hung. However, there are two theories. The first theory is that the noose was hung in response to a Black man being recently promoted to deputy chief. The second theory is that someone is angry about a push to recruit more minorities to the force. Whatever the reason, the noose was found hanging in the men’s locker room. Only police officers have access to the room.
So, a member of law enforcement, responsible for protecting those in his community (including many Blacks), is bold enough to commit a hate crime at his place of work. No word of what—if any—evidence was collected at the scene of the noose hanging.

My name is Angel I saw the story about the noose.I just want to say to the chief keep your head and thanks for bringing this out in the media. Obviously this person thought he could intimidate you. I know Corey from when he was in the military and I am so proud of this organization he is in and that you got good people standing behind you.
