NJ cop fired for post berating BLM protesters as 'terrorists'
A New Jersey police officer who wrote on Facebook that Black Lives Matter protesters are “terrorists” who couldn’t care less if she dies has been fired — a move ripped by her attorney as “pandering to the far left.”
Hopewell Township Police Officer Sara Erwin was terminated Friday via unanimous vote of the town committee, which accepted the recommendation of a hearing officer, NJ.com reported.
A second officer, Sgt. Mandy Grey, was demoted and suspended for six months for replying to a comment on Erwin’s June 2020 post, their attorney Frank Crivelli told The Post Tuesday.
“The fact that she supported her position as a fellow officer, that was the reason that they actually suspended her,” Crivelli said of Grey.

“I’ve seen so many black lives matter hashtags in these posts,” the post continued. “Just to let you know – they are terrorists. They hate me. They hate my uniform. They don’t care if I die.”
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.
