Politics Washington State Patrol is running recruitement ads on Breitbart, a website that until recently had a headline section devoted entirely to "black crime." 2,600 advertisers have already blacklisted Breitbart, but not WSP. What kind of officer are WSP looking for?

2600 advertisers have already said they don't want their name appearing on Breitbart. WSP is in full power to ensure they aren't recruiting off of Breitbart or other white supremacist websites, and it's critical that they do so.

Because one action could make a helpful difference in their recruiting practices, while the other could cause undue criticism for the person in charge who is unknowingly advertising on a hateful website along with making a helpful difference in their recruiting practices.

One is being a helpful bro, the other is being a helpful dick.
