A Brooklyn court officer was suspended and had her gun taken away after she posted a racist meme depicting former President Barack Obama being lynched.

Sgt. Terri Pinto Napolitano posted the vile meme to her Facebook over the weekend, showing former president Barack Obama swinging from a noose, according to screen grabs shared with the Daily News.

spot on freedom of expression

“IT’S NOT OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SWINGS.”

HA HA.

[teeman8r]

she will win for freedom of expression and the taxpayers will pay the bill... when can the taxpayers sue the idiots that are elected.

[Kickass Conservative]

Everybody knows that only Trump can be Lynched, what was she thinking?

[mrsmel]

Various players on the left were always depicting Bush being hanged, etc-they even made a movie about him being decapitated (of course, if I’d known what good buddies he is with Clinton and Obama, I wouldn’t have cared at the time).

Dang!
Someone should set up a GoFundMe page for her.
Wonder if she was doing an A vs. B test to collect data.
Now where are those progressives and lawyers who squeak “I may disagree with what you say, but i will defend your right to say it.”?
Equal protection under the law my a$$.

“A Black man hanging on a noose is never appropriate but especially not in times like the ones we are living in today,” wrote one court officer responding to Napolitano’s post.

I think the good Sgt. referred to Maobama as a 'traitor', not a 'black man'. On what basis is it legitimate to excuse 'traitors' because they happen to be 'black traitors' (or half black in Maobama's case). That sounds like discrimination against 'white traitors', no?

That was dumb, she could have posted Trump or Bush hanging or decapitated with impunity, but never Saint Obama.

[TalBlack]

Racist? Who can show that? It may be political...

[antidemoncrat]

She didn’t understand the ground rules. If she would have posted meme depicting Trump being lynched she probably would have been promoted.

[Bayard]

Obama is black so she is fired for racism, the one thing that freedom of speech cannot touch.

[fwdude]

I’m quite sure no one lost their job over this lynching.

The media didn't seem too bothered by THIS effigy in 2008

[Phil DiBasquette]

She’s not wrong, y’know

[Phil DiBasquette]

Ain’t that good noose

Man ain’t that noose!

Meanwhile, CBS can put this on Prime Time TV and it's "freedom of expression".

[semimojo]

...she will win for freedom of expression and the taxpayers will pay the bill...

The Constitution doesn't say your expression will be free of consequences.

[teeman8r]

wrongful termination... it was not a picture of a lynching... but of a traitor being executed.

there is a difference... she wasn’t being racist, just what is supposed to happen to traitors.

we shall see. wrongful terminations have consequences...
