LAKE ARTHUR, La. -- A police officer in Louisiana has been fired after a photo of him at a Ku Klux Klan rally in North Carolina surfaced.

"The picture speaks for itself," Mott said. "I'm standing at a rally against illegal immigration. There's not much to be said about the picture. I've never denied it was me."
