Members of Durham City Council voiced support for Police Chief Patrice Andrews, who faced calls to resign after making controversial comments about assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

An online petition calling for her firing garnered over 1,400 signatures as of Tuesday evening. Andrews’ post, which was written from her personal Facebook page, has since been deleted.

“I won't stop being outraged at the way this man is being honored by people that I thought I knew,” Andrews wrote in the post. “This man, who disguised himself as a Christian, shamed Black women like me, believed that gun violence was necessary to preserve the Second Amendment and created a culture of divisiveness through hate speech."

"So, at the time of his death, I chose to give him the empathy that he didn't believe in and certainly didn't believe that people like me deserved,” she continued. “But, to know many of you STILL support him despite his horrible rhetoric.. I cannot.”




quote:

Mayor Leonardo Willliams defended Andrews’ ability to voice her opinions during Monday evening’s city council meeting saying, “The First Amendment, freedom of speech, is accessible to us all, whether we like each other or not.” He likened being “selectively outraged” by online content and subsequent free speech infringements to slavery and discrimination.

There was nothing derogatory stated, but people have their interpretations,” Williams said of the post. “Interestingly enough, we tend to get the most vulgar threats and voicemails whenever we speak up for what’s right.

Durham might as well be San Fran with more color.

DEI is the only thing that matters.

Amazing the type of morons we have running gov offices that apparently have no fricking clue how it works.

If you are a white Christian and live in that town, you are in danger. These people want you dead.

Withhold her department’s federal funding and kick any of her officers off of federal agency task forces.

She's pretty much a pure dei hire. Kirk called that dei shite out. Of course she hates him.

Ironic that Durham is still cool with smearing the lives of young white men with fantastical lies.
