Not only that, but he could be under threat of being fired and losing his position, or maybe he does not care about the person at all and see his corp colleagues as his true brotherhood. Or the coroner may simply be incompetent. Too many possibilities.

The US being the US, the police or any institution cannot be trusted in matters of racism and hate crime against minorities. It's just like the fruit of the poisonous tree principle, but applied to the whole US institutions, and specially in the case of Southern US institutions.

For sure, which is why I said it would be unlikely and not impossible. Maybe it's more likely than I'm thinking, but idk I just grew up in a town not unlike Cleveland and not that far from it. It might not even be a majority white population, which is true in a lot of small southern "cities" (they aren't large cities, populations of ~15k)

And I mean Candace Owens exists so anything is possible

I mean, being people, and Americans at that, black people run the gamut, including those complicit in the white supremacist criminal punishment system. Which a coroner knowingly enters, usually having other options in medical fields. According to some random site, Ohio coroners are elected positions, so they are even members of the political class!

Yeah, I agree. This town is in Mississippi, though. Also doesn't even require medical qualifications, they take a class after being elected.

tbh that could be a wash on who joins because it may then attact "criminology" types and nepo hires. I don't know anything about this one particular guy though.
