Oklahoma town’s 4th police chief of 2017 caught on camera making obscene gestures with teenage girls
![]()
The fourth police chief hired by the Colbert, Oklahoma City Council so far in 2017 is already facing a scandal.
As Raw Story reported in August, newly-appointed Police Chief Bart Alsbrook was revealed to be a leader in the “Blood & Honour” skinhead organization and the owner of multiple racist websites.
Chief Alsbrook attempted to resign after being exposed for owning websites selling, “Hitler Youth, KKK, SS, swastika and confederate flags.” City Hall, however, wanted to keep him.
After continued community pressure, Alsbrook was finally ousted as chief. The Colbert City Council then hired David Peterson as the town’s forth police chief in 2017.
A social media photo that went viral shows Chief Peterson sitting in his patrol car, flipping the bird at the camera, KXII reports. Standing next to the car are two teenage girls giving the same gesture, but with each girl using both hands.
Residents of the town are outraged, KXII reported.
“That’s disgraceful, I mean, what kind of police department does that?” local resident Charles Davis asked.
“That is outrageous,” resident Judy Noel said. “Our kids are worth more than that.

‘Hypocritical’ Republicans busted for disappearing now that Trump has exploded the deficit
In a "Reality Check" segment on CNN on Thursday morning, contributor John Avlon called out GOP fiscal hawks who have suddenly disappeared from the public square now that a Republican president has exploded the national debt.
Introduced by host John Berman, who asked, "This morning new numbers from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirm it: The national debt and deficit are much worse than thought. So where is the party of fiscal responsibility in times like these?" Avlon broke it down.
"While President Trump was busy proclaiming himself 'the chosen one,' you might have missed more bad news in the form of data," Avlon smirked. "Brand new CBO numbers shows the budget deficit is skyrocketing, projected to rise 25 percent over last year and heading to over $1 trillion next year. Tax revenues are $430 billion below where they were expected to be before the Trump tax cuts while spending in is in drunken sailor territory adding $1.7 trillion in the next decade."
