"These #Alaska cops should be #Fired !!!! The GOP is composed of a bunch of #Nazi freaks," wrote another user.
"Alaska police pull over a woman, let her go when she literally presents a "white privilege" card. Meanwhile in Grand Rapids, police shoot a black motorist in the back of his head during a traffic stop. America, what the f-ck is wrong with you?" read a tweet.
