Two Mobile Police Officers have caused outrage online after an image of them appearing to ridicule homeless people went viral over the holiday period.
The post shows the two officers holding up a so-called quilt of cardboard signs apparently confiscated from homeless people in the city. The accompanying text says: Wanna wish everybody in the 4th precinct a Merry Christmas, especially our captain. Hope you enjoy our homeless quilt. Sincerely Panhandler patrol.
The two officers, Preston McGraw and Alexandre Olivier, are recent graduates of the Mobile Police Academy. McGraw graduated in February of 2018 and Olivier in January of 2019. Two other people are also tagged in the image but its not clear who they are.
The photo appears to have been taken inside a Mobile Police Department office.

If anything, it makes the two officers look pretty small and pathetic.

And some wonder why people have less and less respect for cops every year.

Simple. They got wise to your filthy hypocrisy.
