Protect and Serve? Oklahoma Police Chief Bart Alsbrook's White Power Ties

Sixteen billion dollars from 15.4 million victims — that’s the total scope of identity theft in the United States in 2016 according to a study authored by Javelin Strategy & Research.

---snip---

Alsbrook distanced himself from the accusations and denied involvement with white supremacists, claiming that a group of skinheads stole his wallet in the 1990s and have been starting neo-Nazi hate sites using his personal details ever since.

KVII’s Knapp reported in a follow-up story on Monday that Colbert’s city council isn’t planning on firing Alsbrook, even after he has offered to resign.

Knapp quoted city spokesman Jerry Harrell as saying, “They [the city council] don’t want him to leave because he hasn’t done anything they would warrant as grounds for dismissal.”
