ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. The home of an officer assigned to the St. Louis County and Municipal Police Academy was recently photographed with the officer’s marked take-home police car in the driveway next to a Three Percenters flag.
5 On Your Side obtained a photo of Officer Michael Coletti’s home with the group s flag flying underneath an American flag in his front yard. His marked police car was parked in the driveway just feet away.
The flag reads: “When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.” It also includes the Roman numeral for three in the middle of the flag with the year 1776 written underneath it. Thirteen red stars representing the 13 colonies also adorn the flag.
WORCESTER In public meetings last year, Police Chief Steven M. Sargent insisted his department should not be lumped in with others across the country facing allegations of systemic racism in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
“I’ve said many times, we have not observed - in my 35 years, you know, racism within the department,” Sargent told Human Rights commissioners in September, echoing comments he made during a contentious back-and-forth with Board of Health officials a month earlier.
Sargent, appointed chief in 2016 after three decades in his hometown department, told officials he did not believe institutional racism or implicit bias existed in the Police Department in Worcester, the second-largest city in New England.
