This photo has emerged of a Philadelphia cop potentially sporting a Nazi tattoo while patrolling a Black Lives Matter protest at the DNC.
According to BillyPenn.com, the officer with what may be Nazi themed ink is Ian Hans Lichtermann who actually won Officer of the Month back in October of 2014.
The tattoo reads “Fatherland” above an eagle used by Germany as well as Nazi Germany during World War II. Needless to say there’s probably plenty of questions out there as to whether or not officer Lichtermann can be impartial on the street? Not to mention I’m sure it’s not in any police force’s best interest to employ Nazi’s, Nazi sympathizers. Not that Licthermann is either, but if he is… well this is the shit Colin Kaepernick has been protesting.

Anyways, Philadelphia mayor Jim Kenney has called the tattoo “offensive” while the Philly police have launched an investigation.
