cops or cops period cant just go around and beat the hell out of Black folks.

The same folks who are angry as hell like her, also hate Gay people with the same fervor.

This summer when our SC destroys Obamacare and at the same time upholds Gay rights, the sheet gonna hit the fan somewhere

What an ugly thing to hold onto as a part of her.

I'm glad she was fired. She can't be trusted to treat children of color with kindness.

Wonder how many children she has made assumptions about and treated unfairly or unkindly.

people that are susceptible to their poison get primed and lash out with the misinformation they spew.She was obviously predisposed to her feelings. Now I bet she sitting wondering what went wrong.

If you allow guns in society then this is what happens. Things slowly get out of control, but most people just come to accept it as normal. There are real serious problems here.

But as my mom used to say, there are consequences for the words you speak to people. Hers happened to be job loss. Oh well!

I love when these people do it to themselves. She was not required to speak, but she did and it cost her.
