Profs Demand University Police Chief Resign After Seeing 'Blue Lives Matter' Flag At His Home

When a university police chief hosted an online diversity event, students and faculty were outraged to see a pro-law enforcement flag in his office. Shortly after the event, the chief issued a public apology and promised to remove the flag.

Sounds like there's a mighty task ahead of us. The feds need to investigate every one of these whining communists....profs and students alike.

We need to see if they are antiFA terrorists, and start rounding them up.

(It's probably already underway.)

I had to do mandatory diversity training today - again - and the thrust was that just having a diverse team isn't enough. We need to make people feel super duper welcomed and safe to do/say anything and we could do that by sharing all of our personal stories. I fought really, really hard to not say 'as a white male I do not feel welcomed and safe to say anything about myself besides name, rank, and serial number. If I said, god forbid, All lives matter or MAGA someone here would make it their mission in life to destroy me.'

Instead I said nothing and hoped nobody forced the issue by asking me to join the discussion. These things are immensely uncomfortable for a portion of the population and businesses know that, they just don't care. In fact, they keep making them worse and worse. It's only a matter of time before they force us to kiss a gay pride flag and swear fealty to BLM or explain to all our coworkers why we won't and let them decide our fates.

Well, two can play at that game.

Do employers have a legal right to violate your 1st Amendment rights? That is what is happening here.

The police are going to have to stand on one side or the other.

Our side is law and order, living in nonviolent tolerance, respect for law enforcement with proper insurance that they also follow the law, and belief that honoring the US Constitution and keeping America free is worth the effort.

Other side is acceptance of CHOP and other anarchy, sanctuary cities defying federal law, allowing Marxist anti-American BLM (read it’s mission statements and leaders’ quotes) to take over, destruction of homes and buildings out of angry spite,allowing thugs to surround cars and trap drivers and families inside, and supporting deliberate targeting and ambushing of officers to beat and often kill them (several case in past two years alone).

No middle, squishy cowardly Kasich-Bush family style wimp-out allowed. One or the other.

Feel bad for ya. I’ve been retired since 2011 and I still remember the useless yearly diversity crap we were required to attend. Probably went on for 10 or 11 of the last years before I bailed out. As usual there were a couple of folks who found it beneficial(?) but the majority, not so much. Must be worse now. Always had to be careful about comments made that could be overheard. Even if they were meaningless to you and who you were conversing with.

Yes, unless they are a government entity, and probably not if they receive government funding.

Private sector entities can violate away, but would need to be prepared to deal with any 1A or economic pushback.

A lot of people used to think they could say something benign like 'All Lives Matter' to show that they are inclusive and honor and repect everyone. Those people are now living in a van by the river hunting rats for food because they are no longer empoyable.

Say nothing when there is a room foll of snowflakes encouraging you to bare your soul. Nothing!

Where are the "Cops Demand University Professor Resign After Seeing 'Black Lives Matter' Flag At His Classroom" stories?

Especially if they are in state universities paid for by public funds?

The side of Constitutional conservatives.

Other side is acceptance of CHOP and other anarchy, sanctuary cities defying federal law, allowing Marxist anti-American BLM (read it’s mission statements and leaders’ quotes) to take over...

Which is RAT, as are the police unions...marxist in nature.

Pick a side cops,.......MAGA or RAT?

I went through that at a university before I retired.

You have to walk past a gauntlet of PC watchers all day.
I never got a privilege that would make it up to me for what I (and you) go through.

All risk, no reward to showing video, whether from home or an office.

You continually see things caught in webcams yet people still use them in conference calls with mentally ill co-workers.

(You have mentally ill co-workers, even if you don't know it).

Its not the chief its the president of the school Gee.
The WVU Chief knew Gee didn’t have his back.

Gee should have said we back free speech here. The chief has a right to his opinion. Gee’s not going to do that.

It was in his office — or his home?

It appears in large part they are not on our side.

We have now arrived at the just following my orders point in the decline of our Republic.

After seeing what happened to Michelle Malkin in Denver where the cops stood there and watched them be assaulted, I have no faith that the police are going to defend anybody who should be defended.

So, a thinking person would ask themself, if they will follow an order to stand down and watch you get assaulted, How likely is it they will follow an order to assault you?

I did notice in the article this statement from (I guess) one of the ‘demanders’”

“As you already know, that flag was crafted to oppose the Black Lives Matter movement, even though historically police lives have always mattered while black lives have been taken away by systematic police brutality over and over again,” Benedito said. (Says the latino/Italian[?] POC*.)

Guess I was unaware that some white supremacists rushed out and designed that piece to counter blm. Or not. Pretty sure it’s been around for a while.

*Piece Of Crap

Not because he’s latino/Italian [?], because he’s an assclown. Proof yet again that being a prof does not automatically indicate any actual intelligence.

“NEVER APOLOGIZE TO THE LEFT!!!!!”

Exactly! Double down and do more of what they don’t like. At the same time, laugh at them.

Thanks for your tip about Michelle Malkin being attacked in Denver. I didn’t hear about it.
