Massachusetts detective fired after post supporting Black Lives Matter [View all]
https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/505592-massachusetts-detective-fired-after-post-supporting-black-lives-matterA Massachusetts detective has been fired over a social media post last month expressing support of her niece attending a Black Lives Matter rally.
According to a report from MassLive.com, Florissa Fuentes, who had recently joined the Springfield Police Department's Special Victims Unit, was fired on June 19 after a May post she made while not on duty.
“After I posted it, I started getting calls and texts from co-workers,” Florissa Fuentes told MassLive.com.
Fuentes says she removed the Instagram post on June 1 and that she received a call from the head of the Detective Bureau, who said the police commissioner was upset with her.
