Police Officer Appears in Racist Music Video

A St. Joseph, Missouri, police officer, Zackary Craft, has been placed on unpaid administrative leave after appearing in a racially charged music video for a song called “Before This Bomb Blows Up (Racism Goes Both Ways),” which was uploaded on YouTube, by Josh Smith (who goes by J. Smitty).


Throughout the song, J. Smitty questions issues regarding social injustices, including Black Lives Matter, Trayvon Martin, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), “pulling the race card” and slavery. He also breaks pictures of Rev. Jesse Jackson and President Barack Obama, as well as criticizes the president’s involvement in issues relating to police brutality against Blacks.
