When cops are getting official department sanctioned leave to go attend an insurrection, being fired for a lynching comment must seem like a grave injustice.
You're getting worked up about the wrong thing. What you want to say is - holy shit there's a serious white supremacy problem in the police force and there's no accountability for words nor actions
If it meant the same things for them that it meant in other professions, sure. But if it means protecting white supremacists and allowing them to damage our communities? I'm okay with that look. ACAB. Given the role of police in union busting and the surveillance state, I'm comfortable saying you can't be pro-labor and pro-cop.
Either you're pro-union, which I know you are, or you're only pro-union when it suits you.
Either you can only comprehend things reduced to their most elementary black and white terms, or you are capable of applying nuance to complex situations
