[Update: According to this Vice article, Mott was working as an informant against the KKK, and was fired for fighting against police corruption.]
Lake Arthur, Louisiana police officer Raymond Mott doesn’t deny that he went to a KKK rally and giving a salute next to a KKK member wearing a hooded robe, but he is planning to sue the city for firing him. He’s on the left in the photo above.
Mott said his termination is illegal and that he has an explanation for the photo that cost him his job.
The former officer said the picture is being taken out of context.
“The picture speaks for itself,” said Mott. “I’m standing at a rally against illegal immigration. There’s not much to be said about the picture. I’ve never denied it was me.”
It looks like Mott and the guy to the right of the white robed man are wearing some kind of uniform in the above photo. Anyone know what it is?
