NJ police officer says she was fired over Facebook post calling Black Lives Matter protesters ‘terrorists’
Fox News
A New Jersey officer told “Fox & Friends First” on Wednesday that she was “devastated” after she was fired over a Facebook post where she called Black Lives Matter protesters “terrorists."
A second officer, Sgt. Mandy Gray, who appeared with Erwin on the show, was suspended and demoted for liking the June 2020 post. Both Erwin and Gray each have 20 years of experience, according to their attorney Frank Crivelli, who argued their treatment was unjust and excessively harsh. Gray was the first female officer hired in Hopewell Township and became the first female sergeant when she was promoted in 2019, NJ.com reported, noting that she will lose the rank in the demotion. Erwin noted on Wednesday that she wrote the Facebook post during a lot of "turmoil" that was taking place following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin. His death sparked protests and riots in cities across the country.More Related News
