It is good that he was removed, but he is still the chief of the volunteer fire fighters. His apology was the typical lame ass non-apology. "I didn't mean to offend anyone"? Well what do you think your stupid little t-shirt was communicating?

Protest on the sidewalk only, and quietly so as not to inconvenience anyone? And, "All lives matter"? Why don't you go for the trifecta and talk about how Floyd had a criminal record or "why aren't we talking about Black on Black crime?"
