A former Virginia police officer who was fired after donating to a legal defense fund for Kyle Rittenhouse and expressing support for his actions has since drawn thousands in donations from supporters through a Christian crowdfunding site.

So far, a fundraiser set up through GiveSendGo has raised more than $46,000 for the former officer, William Kelly, with a goal of $50,000 in total.

Should he sue or are Virginia courts as corrupt as their politicians?

But he would have been promoted if he expressed support for BLM.

I hope he sues the pants off them.

How would that not be a wrongful firing?

These are his “egregious” comments:

“God bless. Thank you for your courage. Keep your head up. You’ve done nothing wrong,” Kelly wrote in the comment. “Every rank and file police officer supports you. Don’t be discouraged by actions of the political class of law enforcement leadership.”

The city manager:

“His egregious comments erode the trust between the Norfolk Police Department and those they are sworn to serve. The City of Norfolk has a standard of behavior for all employees, and we will hold staff accountable,” Filer also said.

Good luck, now you're probably on an FBI watch list.

I’d be extremely surprised if we aren’t all the “FBI watch list”. Might as well stand with those who are already in the crosshairs.

How can he be fired for making that donation? There is nothing illegal about that. What was the grounds for his dismissal?
