This tweet, which has over 100,000 retweets and 250,000 likes, is from Saturday and it claims to show the officer protecting white supremacists during that rally.
Among the people who shared it on Twitter is Tim Hogan, who worked for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign in 2016 and is now national press secretary at The Hub Project.
"A picture worth a thousand words," he said.
Hogan later took it down and said the picture was posted in July:

One of the first to upload it appears to be Keven Quillon, who claimed on Instagram that the officer is his niece's husband, Officer Darius Ricco Nash.
While Quillon doesn't specify which rally Nash was attending, he called him "one of our living heroes":
I'm HAPPY to report that my nephew in law didn't get hurt serving and protecting the city of Charlottesville yesterday... but I'm NOT HAPPY to hear that not only did he have to stand there all day yesterday and hear hate filled comments from the members of the KKK but he also had to hear even more hate and disgust from members of the public there protesting this rally.
This is my nieces husband Darius Ricco Nash. He is one of our living heroes in this country. I'm ashamed that you may have seen on the news yesterday that there was a KKK rally in my hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia. All over the removal of a confederate statue of Robert E. Lee. I'm HAPPY to report that my nephew in law didn't get hurt serving and protecting the city of Charlottesville yesterday... but I'm NOT HAPPY to hear that not only did he have to stand there all day yesterday and hear hate filled comments from the members of the KKK but he also had to hear even more hate and disgust from members of the public there protesting this rally. Members of the Black Lives Matter movement... These men and women who are police officers are there NOT to protect the members of the KKK rallying... they are there to stand in the middle to protect YOU... they are standing in the middle to keep the PEACE so chaos and riots don't break out. He risks his life everyday. I don't understand how people can berate him and say "F*** you" and "F*** the police?" We should all be thanking him. He has a family. He is MY family. Yesterday made me sick, but to hear that it was mostly the people protesting on the other side that were the most disrespectful... it's disgusting. I'm so proud of you Darius. Keep your head UP, you are doing good work and you are a good man! #thankyou #youmakeusproud #supportpolice #police #blacklivesmatter #heroes #family #love #respect
A KTVU reporter, Frank Somerville, said on Facebook that the officer was getting trolled after the image went viral:
"On Monday I saw a photo from the KKK rally that moved me and I posted it. Now it has gone viral and mean, angry people are coming out of the woodwork. I do not care about the rude comments towards me but I am becoming quite irritated at the attacks on our local police officer. He is getting attacked for being an African American police officer who was protecting the free speech rights of the klan and I am getting accused of being a supporter of racism because my sister is a police officer.
But the image of officer Nash is not the only one that circulated last weekend and was wrongly attributed to the most recent Charlottesville protest.
This image showing a black woman confronting a Klan member also made the rounds since it was posted on Twitter:

The picture is actually from Tupelo, Mississippi and was shot by photojournalist Anthony S. Karen, who had spent eight years documenting Klan organisations in 14 states across the country.
Here's the full description of the pic:
A confrontation immediately following a rally hosted by The Mississippi White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan at the Lee county courthouse in Tupelo, Mississippi on Saturday, October 20th, 2007. The protest was against illegal immigration and local sex offenders, and supported putting prayers back in school.
More of his photos can be found in an eBook on iTunes called “White Pride.”
