It’s not about the officers protesting. It’s about the fact that off duty police officers will refuse to work private security detals for her concert. It’s a little known fact that a lot of large venues in cities depend on off duty cops to fill the ranks of their event security. No security, the insurance company refuses to insure the concert
CC.
Again, I’ll believe it when I see it.
People like this are all talk no action. I doubt 1 officer chooses to skip this out rather then get a paycheck

Just a trio of protesters expressed anti-Beyoncé outrage outside the National Football League headquarters in New York City on Tuesday, The Cut reported.

No it aint !!
I can’t speak to concerts, but I know for a fact that off duty cops provide security for some of the construction sites In Indy.
I did a project in a small town of about 500 people. The Town Marshal had multiple used squad cars, police motorcycles, boat, and even a surplus military 4x4.
I asked him myself “why?”. He told me he contracted with the project managers and hired off duty officers to use them for security. Some projects downtown required a duly sworn officer of the law on site. For example, he provided security for Lucas Stadium when it was built.
