They said they found officers bashing immigrants and Muslims, promoting racist stereotypes, identifying with right-wing militia groups and, especially, glorifying police brutality. 


That's what you want associated with conservatism?

If it is an SJW group searching the posts, then I imagine that they have a rather expanded definition of what constitutes "police brutality," "promoting racial stereotypes" and "bashing immigrants and Muslims."

There is absolutely no context provided.

For all we know they police officers said something like “the influx of Muslim immigrants is making me have to work overtime to help house them all”

Which may be a factual statement. SJW hit squad dreams this as ‘Racist’. There’s no context provided. I doubt these officers are stupid enough to post “frick Muslims” on their Facebook pages. It was probably something with little substance that an SJW group is exploiting.

I would assume worse since they've been put on leave over it.

Going to ignore glorification of police brutality or is that another liberal fantasy?

What exactly are they going to sue for when this is publically available information?


Misrepresenting said information.

Someone stating "illegal immigration is illegal" is not bashing immigrants.

I'll bet there are dozens of examples of a similar ilk.

Like everything else, there's a line. In some cases, it may be clear and narrow and in others, wide and blurry.

But nobody is being shown the line here. That's the truly scary part in all this.

How you figure that's going to fly? The researchers aren't the ones suspending them. Think man, think.

Should FB posts made when off duty be held against officers when they come to work?

Yes it should be. If they can't can't comply with what is a basic standard for human behavior then they can go get a job with a fellow traveler.

There's just no reasoning with someone this ignorant.

Calling that response "ignorance" is being far too kind. Ignorance is simply not knowing.....
The response doesn't demonstrate ignorance. The response demonstrates a clear lack of understanding of the 1st amendment or basic reading comprehension.

That's the police commissioner.

Of course, no one on here knee-jerk reacting actually read the article. Just like they're only focusing on the anti-Islam part exclusively and purposefully choosing the ignore the right-wing extremist group support and police brutality part.
