Settlement

Im rarely shocked by racism. It often angers me. But knowing you live in a world co-existing alongside such evil and hate is depressing. Its never surprising, but it still hurts.

Take Tom McBroom Sr., for instance. Minnesotas City Pages describes McBroom as a sergeant on the Rice County (Minn.) Sheriffs Department and a city councilman in the small town of Elysian, Minn. On his LinkedIn page, he says he is anexperienced Sergeant with a demonstrated history of working in the law enforcement industry. According to his rsum, he is college-educated with a history at the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

He also might be the author of the meanest, most racist tweet ever.

On Wednesday, when reports surfaced that Diamond Reynolds would receive an $800,000 settlement for the death of her boyfriend and father of her child, Philando Castile, it apparently infuriated McBroom. Castile was killed by a St. Anthony, Minn., police officer in 2016 for ... ummm ... lets just say being not white. The officer who shot Castile was acquitted because ... umm ... lets just say he was not black.

In response to the settlement to Diamond Reynolds, McBroom tweeted on Wednesday: She needs to come off County and State Aid Now that she has some cash. Itll be gone in 6 months on crack cocaine.

When someone asked him what led him to his conclusion, McBroom simply replied, History.

I wish I had a scathing but witty remark for him. I dont. It doesnt anger me. It just makes me sad. This is a man who works in law enforcement. He is a city official. He is responsible for the lives of others.

He is also evil.

McBroom quickly deleted the tweet when others saw it and became outraged. When City Pages called him for an interview, McBroom denied he was either a city councilman or a sheriffs officer, telling them: Im a general contractor. Wrong person. Sorry. He called back later and retracted his first lie, admitting that it had been him, but adding: Nowhere did I say they would spend all that money on crack. I said they would spend it in six months. At no point did I say on crack cocaine.


Get this dude outta here
