White Georgia Sheriff Arrested Black People so They Couldn’t Vote

The sickness of white supremacist cops knows no bounds.

A former sheriff from Georgia has shared that he intentionally arrested Black people with any felony he could to take away their right to vote- this on top of his illegal purchase of firearms and general violence towards Black people.

Disgusting.

And while we are glad he is off the force, there should be harsher repercussions and the cops all need to lose power because there are certainly more white cops who think this way and we are long past the time to allow it!

Here is the story:

A former White sheriff deputy in Georgia reportedly discussed charging Blacks with felonies so they’d be denied the right to vote, the U.S. Department of Justice stated in court.

According to an FBI affidavit, ex-Wilkinson County sheriff’s deputy Cody Richard Griggers also boasted he’d beaten a Black man in custody while texting with members of an extremist group, calling it “sweet stress relief.”

The text messages were uncovered while the FBI and ATF were investigating extremist groups’ violent rhetoric on Facebook and illegal gun sales. The feds then learned that that Grigger, a former Marine, was telling the White supremacists he was illegally acquiring sawed-off shotguns and silencers, according to the Macon Telegraph. The investigation and subsequent findings led to Grigger’s termination in November 2020.

Griggers, 28, pleaded guilty in Macon, Georgia, to one count of possession of an unregistered firearm on Monday, April 26, 2021, in federal court. He will get up to 10 years in prison when he is sentenced in July.

“This former law enforcement officer knew that he was breaking the law when he chose to possess a cache of unregistered weapons, silencers and a machine gun, keeping many of them in his duty vehicle,” Acting U.S. Attorney Peter D. Leary said in a statement on Justice.gov. “Coupled with his violent racially motivated extreme statements, the defendant has lost the privilege permanently of wearing the blue.”

The FBI said Griggers had also discussed “killing liberal politicians” and blaming it on Muslim extremists. He texted about charging Black people with “whatever felonies I can to take away their ability to vote,” The Grio stated.

Griggers also talked frequently often about making explosives and gathering illegal firearms at his home. During an FBI search, agents found a total of 11 illegal guns between his home and his squad car.
