https://uisjournal.com/news/2022/04/22/former-officer-aaron-nichols-maligned-the-blue-line/On Friday, April 1, a story broke about former Springfield Police Officer Aaron P. Nichols who was placed on unpaid administrative leave for the discovery of racist online statements. Joshua Stuenkel, the Deputy Chief of Criminal Investigations for the Springfield Police Department, says that the department was made aware of the statements through an independent information gathering effort by a group called the Anonymous Comrades Collective. During a statement by Chief of Police Kenneth Scarlette, it was announced that Nichols was then placed on unpaid administrative leave something that the Police Union did not oppose. The department announced that Nichols tenured his resignation on April 5. Though the disgraced former officer has turned over his badge and been officially relieved of police duties, Deputy Chief Stuenkel says the current investigation will continue. When asked if there was an indicated pattern of racial bias in Nichols police work, Stuenkel indicated that it was one of the many things that were being investigated. A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request has been submitted for the information on whether Nichols has had complaints filed against him or if he was reprimanded for misconduct prior to the announcement on April 1

He also made his opinion known about supreme court justice nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson , referring to her with the racist slur sheboon and questioning her impartiality (the hypocrisy of a racist cop saying this is not lost on us).

When I was monitoring a gun forum, I heard it all the time. They are brave when hiding behind a screen name and too stupid to realize that, after a while, you give up enough info to get pegged. The more enlightened cops protect those kinds of officers which makes them as bad or worse because they know better. Cops need to clean up their own streets.

Thanks for the update.
Now, the PD needs to review every arrest he's ever made.
