A police recruit in Lafayette, Indiana, has been terminated after an internal affairs investigation determined he participated in an online Neo-Nazi chat forum, authorities announced Saturday.

A Twitter user brought recruit officer Joseph Zacharek to the attention of Lafayette Police Department late Friday, identifying him as having participated in the now defunct forum "Iron March" in 2016, according to a news release from the department.

The user who flagged the activity describes themselves on Twitter as an anti-fascist who aims to "expose" fascists.

Lt. Matt Gard with the Lafayette Police Department told CNN that the department called Zacharek after being alerted to the forum activity and said that Zacharek admitted to making the posts.

"The investigation has determined that Zacharek did participate in this online forum and that the information that was provided to LPD was accurate and credible," the department said in the news release. "Officer Zacharek's comments were not in harmony with the spirit of cooperation and inclusion in the community that the Lafayette Police Department values."

Good.

Police departments need to be rooted out and they need to go through serious screenings

what point do you think you're making?  This single story, if anything, shows that it's certainly not the majority....at least in Lafayette IN.

Duh, he's using an anecdote to prove that his evidence isn't anecdotal.
