A video is circulating on Twitter showing a racist man spouting racial slurs at a West Palm Beach police officer as he tries not to laugh. According to WSVN News, the police responded to calls of a truckload of men distributing antisemitic flyers around the area.
Investigators say the group of West Palm Beach officers approached a group of men asking for their identification. NBC News affiliate WPTV says the group was accused of riding around in a U-Haul truck, passing around over 500 small antisemitic flyers around the beaches and neighborhoods of Palm Beach County.
Last week, the officers approached the group and gave a lousy littering citation. However, the video of the incident went viral after one of the suspects, identified by Twitter as white supremacist Jon Minadeo, was repeatedly heard calling one officer the N-word after he just asked him a question.
In another clip, the officer, whose badge reads D. Thomas., stands there with a smirk on his face as Minadeo continues to throw the racial slur at him repeatedly, taunting him to have a reaction. Instead of giving him the satisfaction, Officer Thomas stood there with a smirk, trying not to laugh at the pathetic attempt to spark a controversial moment.
