DailyKenn.com —Speech is no longer free in the USA. To some the cost of expressing yourself can cost you plenty; even your job.
Ask Hopewell Township Police Officer Sara Erwin.
Erwin lost her job after referring to the black lives matter participants "terrorists."
“I’ve seen so many black lives matter hashtags in these posts,” she reportedly wrote. “Just to let you know – they are terrorists. They hate me. They hate my uniform. They don’t care if I die.”
Take aways...
• The action will likely bully other government officials into timidity about freely expressing their views.
• We wonder if any government official has been disciplined for demeaning the blue lives matter movement.
Six township employees, including five members of the police department, were put on leave for appearing to support Erwin’s post, The Trentonian reported in June.
Hopewell Township Police Chief Lance Maloney, who has since retired, declined to identify the employees at the time, but a source identified them as Grey, Detective Mark Panzano, Officers Erwin and John Ferner, dispatcher Gregory Peck and public works truck driver Steve Harbat, the newspaper reported.
Erwin urged anyone who backed Black Lives Matter to “unfriend” her, prompting Panzano, Grey, Ferner, Peck and Harbat to show support for the post, according to the report.
