How effective would that have been? He took the risk and got a valuable message out. No different then the protestors on your side.

On the news the cop stated he has gotten offers from many different police stations to come work for them should he not get his job back. His kind of thinking is in demand.

People are sick and tired of the left calling police racist. It's far from the truth.
See this is how we fight back against cancel culture in a positive manner. When a woke or scared employer fires someone who was targeted by the SJW twitter mob, conservative leaning(or just anti woke/cancel culture) business owners and hiring managers need to reach out to them and offer to un-cancel them. And when possible they need to do it publicly so everyone, including the SJW twitter mobs, knows it's happening. This would take the power away from the threat of cancellation.

YES, I agree. We need to support these people speaking up and that would be a great way! Great post!

Each of us must stand and speak truth in small ways.

The very first thing a dictatorship demands is your silence.

While I fully understand that provision of his employment--you can't help but wonder what would've happened if the message was in the reverse.

If he had of said "we cops have got to stop killing unarmed black men" while in a patrol car, in full uniform on "job time"...would that still warrant suspension or termination? Would the big wigs see it the same way?


I'm just speculating here

So how many State-sanctioned deaths are acceptable “collateral damage”?

Depends on whether it's inline with the department policy.

Universally, every department policy prohibits any unapproved use of social media while on the clock and in uniform.

I donated some money on his gofundme page.

Don't get me wrong, I understand why he has been suspended, although what he did is totally harmless in my eyes.
