It's heartbreaking to visualize the shocked expressions of disbelief on the faces of the wife and children of an award-winning Officer of 20-plus years with an unblemished record who has to explain to his family that he was fired from his job because a new kid on the Department tweeted an ancient, well-worn joke to someone else...which is based upon truth.
We truly are in a Dark Age now, where so many in Government are rushing to embrace similar attitudes and policies as those championed by Mao's Red Guard and Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge, garnished by a sprig of North Korean informant-culture coupled with "serious thought leaders" remaining silent or even quietly encouraging the foundations for a Chinese-style Social Credit system...selectively implemented thought and speech codes whose violators will have their lives and careers destroyed for the slightest perceived infraction with no opportunity for a fair hearing.
For those rolling their eyes and scoffing, just wait until it's your own heavily-indoctrinated children who are informing their School Gauleiter that you've uttered a 'transphobic slur' which even today can be most any common phrase at all.
The day will soon be upon us when an entire police department being shut down over one ill-advised text message...which could have been effectively dealt with by a private meeting of the 'offender' and a Sargeant or the Captain of the Watch... will, in retrospect, seem like a blissful era of freedom, sanity and openness.
We have been "Slouching Towards Gomorrah" (Robert Bork) for decades and it will take decades still to bring us to a New Enlightenment. Be thankful for those rare, fearless voices that lead us to an eventual time of healing such as Ann Coulter and hopefully President DeSantis.
Jesus H Christ. America’s surely been castrated, or so it would seem. Can’t blame China or Russia. We CAN blame crap leadership at the fed, state and local levels as well as the woke-minded dimwits who voted them in. We’re in disrepair, y’all.
Not a slight tint of prejudice there.....none what so ever. You go in "knowing" all Police suck....this is the solution you will inevitably come up with.
For a good laugh, call out those who made this decision --- call them PREJUDICE!! Ha! Watch them howl with condescending laughter from that high road they love to travel down.
The NYT REPORTED THAT THE THREE MAN POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS REMOVED, AND THE TEXT WAS A VULGAR SUPPORT OF SLAVERY. Ann, any problems with that, or are you supporting slavery?
Well, dissolution of an entire force? Assuming one text and no response, one disciplinary action.
But, America’s greatest newspaper, the UK Daily mail. Now, that’s funny.
I'm all for stupid towns self-destructing. There have to be better uses for the real estate.

"Luckily, we have America’s Greatest Newspaper, the UK’s Daily Mail."
The accuracy and irony of this sentence is rather modern.
I get my news from the Daily Mail of course.
How is it we fail to have an American version of Daily Mail. FFS we came up with the internet.

Here's one they will approve of -
What do you get when 2 cops die?
Bacon.
In all fairness that is racist. Really no need for slave jokes 160 years after the fact.

Thank you for sharing your quite astute perspective on the need for awareness on this matter Ann.
