A Black Lives Matter post gets a Springfield Detective fired!

This is ridicoulous! I guess you can't say anything political these days!

People get offended so easily!

It's like 1984!

Racists should not be in that position, and rep gonzalez should be called out on his racism, but his constituents are the same so it wont matter.

It’s a shame people who are trying to show support for a movement that is trying to fix the wrongs African Americans and minorities as a whole face in society. And now people try to pony them as terrorists and Marxists even though they don’t talk about the people dying in the protests by gun living trump supporters that shoot them.

Excuse me, but what is BLM doing to address and prevent black on black violence? BLM is using a slogan to hide their true intent, which has nothing to do with stopping the violence that takes place on our streets on a daily basis.

This has nothing to do with black on black violence. This thread is about being Fired for one post speaking on Black Lives Matter. One post the Fired!

For those wondering and not reading the articles, just to clarify this detective was fired not because of a post criticizing BLM, but in fact instagram posts supporting BLM but also some other uncalled for insinuations about shooting back at police.

'Who do we call when the murderer wears the badge?': Massachusetts detective, 30, is fired over Black Lives Matter post that suggested people should shoot back at the police

You know I’ve seen so many posts on black and black violence but BLM was made to address police brutality and the injustices minorities face. There are many organizations and have been many protests before George Floyd on Black on Black violence. Blacks have been fighting for gun control which would help in black communities so don’t go saying black on black violence is not being addressed by BLM the reason is that they weren’t made to address it

Big cities already have the strictest gun control in the entire nation. Thugs don't follow laws.

Is this Cancel Culture? I think Trump said he doesn't support Cancel Culture.
