Massachusetts cop terminated after post supporting Black Lives Matter
Florissa Fuentes was fired subsequent to posting a photograph of a protest while off the clock.
A Springfield, Massachusetts private detective named Florissa Fuentes was terminated after posting a photograph of her niece going to an Atlanta Black Lives Matter public rally on Instagram while she was off the clock. Fuentes’ niece was purportedly holding a sign that said “shoot the fu*k back,” in light of the ongoing police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks and others.
Talking with MassLive, Fuentes said she brought the post down rapidly after a few associates contacted her and “communicated their interests” about the photograph.
“I was at first confounded, however then I understood they thought I was being anti-cop. I wasn’t,” Fuentes told the outlet. “I was simply supporting my niece’s activism. I had no malevolent purpose, and I wouldn’t put an objective all alone back. I’m out there on the lanes consistently like every other person.
