Chicago cops to be punished for ‘taking a knee’ against police brutality

[madness]

The Chicago Police Department is investigating a photo of what appears to be two uniformed officers who were photographed “taking a knee” in the lobby of a South Side precinct.

The photo shows the woman kneeling between the two officers, all three with their fists raised, beside the caption: “That Moment when you walk into the police station and ask the Men of Color are they Against Police Brutality and Racism & they say Yes… then you ask them if they support Colin Kapernick [sic] … and they also say yes… then you ask them to Kneel!”

CPD spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said Monday the department was aware of the photo. “We are aware of the photo, and we will address it in the same way we have handled previous incidents in which officers have made political statements while in uniform, with a reprimand and a reminder of department policies.”

This was more of a social statement not political. I bet if the cops would have said blue lives matter there would be no reprimand.

Yet if they shot an unarmed Black person, they would get a paid vacation. At some point you have to be willing to quit any organization or job
