Well this throws a wrench into the liberal narrative that racism might be behind the arrest of a student in South Carolina. The school resource officer seen on tape — Deputy Ben Fields — reportedly has an African-American girlfriend:

Flashback. We’ve paraphrased our title from this epic post on now-deleted tweets from Twitchy regular Ferrari Sheppard who wrote, upon seeing that three of the officers arrested over the death of Freddie Gray were black, that:
The mugshots of the 6 officers tell a complex tale of white supremacy.
And:
It needs to be understood that people of color can enforce and uphold white supremacy.
See how liberals work? The fact that Fields is dating a black woman doesn’t really matter. He can still be a racist, no matter what he does:

They literally pulled "He can't be racist because he has a black friend." This is literally a thing that happened. https://t.co/10c1yRuPwa

I can't! Just bc Ben Fields was dating a black woman doesn't negate the fact that his actions were racially charged. https://t.co/KBLLNZioTv

African American Female. This sounds like an APB description. https://t.co/YWgW8B0FnK

Pls explain how 'I date a black woman' = 'I inflict violence on young black girls & it's OK' but "all" lives matter? https://t.co/92lQoGHcZr
