BLM talks about many things beside police brutality.

They don't talk about black on black violence, which is so far disproportionate to police shootings that it isn't even funny, because it hurts their overall narrative.

After all hasn't it been said over and over on here, that people are getting fired for their social media posts way too much, which is proof of 1984?

If you don't see the difference, that's your problem. Things will get evened out. Payback's a *****.

I hate to see anyone fired, even for this. I would prefer some type of punishment, but people get fired all the time for posts online.

Part of me thinks the best way to end cancel culture is to enforce on it the far left themselves.

I think it is obvious that she violated policy with that post. As a teacher who talks to cops in our building it is clear that teachers and cops are under strict social media guidelines.

Her post is easily interpreted as inciting violence in addition to other issues with it coming from a law officer.

Officers have been fired for criticizing BLM. Where have you been?

People always talk about black on black violence to deflect from what we are talking about acting like one is more acceptable than the other. You never hear white on white violence even though the majority of whites are killed by whites.

And when the Assault Weapons ban was in effect was actually when crime went down a lot.

You also don't hear white people complaining or see them burning down their communities whenever a white criminal is killed by the police.

So now you're being a hypocrite. If someone gets fired for a social media post criticizing Black Lives Matter, it's proof that society is descending into 1984.

But if someone gets fired for a pro Black Lives Matter social media post, well that's alright....

Exactly, and besides not doing anything, what BLM wants (defunding the police) will actually lead to more murders in the inner cities.

Show me a video of a white person being choked and kneeled and saying I can’t breathe or police officers killing a white women in a bed then. You can’t because being white in this country is privilege.
