A Massachusetts detective has been fired over a social media post last month expressing support of her niece attending a Black Lives Matter rally.

According to a report from MassLive.com, Florissa Fuentes, who had recently joined the Springfield Police Department's Special Victims Unit, was fired on June 19 after a May post she made while not on duty.

After I posted it, I started getting calls and texts from co-workers, Florissa Fuentes told MassLive.com.

Fuentes says she removed the Instagram post on June 1 and that she received a call from the head of the Detective Bureau, who said the police commissioner was upset with her.

I was initially confused, but then I realized they thought I was being anti-cop. I wasnt, Fuentes told the news outlet. I was just supporting my nieces activism. I had no malicious intent, and I wouldnt put a target on my own back. Im out there on the streets every day like everyone else.

The photo that Fuentes shared was reportedly from protests that happened after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis on Memorial Day.

Fuentes said that Police Commissioner Cheryl Clapprood told her she was "getting pressure from the mayor's office" and to fix what she did. Fuentes said the police commissioner suggested she post an apology, so Fuentes did.

"The commissioner said: You have to find a way to fix this. Im getting pressure from the mayors office, Fuentes said, according to MassLive. I said, Ok, Im sorry. How do I fix it? Officer Gentile suggested I post an apology on the police union Facebook page. So I went home later and I did.

Clapprood has denied that account and also told MassLive that this was not Fuentes's first issue with the department.

Fuentes said she received mixed reactions from her colleagues after posting the apology to her feed. Some said they are afraid to express support against police brutality after what happened to her.

Theres a lot of officers who are afraid to speak up about this issue and dont want to be targeted as well," one officer told MassLive under the condition of anonymity.

According to Boston.com, other officers have been fired for social media posts, including an officer in 2017 who posted a Facebook post in response to the violence during a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va.

All that pressure to get an officer fired for not falling in line with the corrupt pigs, but they let cops with files full of legit complaints and violations stay on the force for years.

same place its all the same

I dont know what to think about this. I think the detective should be able to say whatever she wants on her off time, but people keep reminding me to keep your politics to yourself and especially out of your job. No such thing now as off time because you represent your organization. I dont like it, but thats been the popular argument for years now.

Cancel Culture is going to get everyone at this rate.

I don't know what Dorner was like as a cop. but I don't like when people praise him. his time after getting fired was as a monster. people praise him as this guy that "stuck it to the cops" but none of his victims were even police. every person he killed was an innocent non cop.

so those cops just proved themselves disgusting fucking racists

i'll be skipping the massholes

I'll have to check him out then. If him being let go had more to do with his complaint rather than any misconduct, the police department/union are a fucking embarrassment.

he was a cop that got fired and then went on a rampage and killed people. one of the victims I think was the daughter of the police chief. but yea, all his victims were civilians. yet his beef was with the cops. it made no sense. he ended up hiding in a cabin and then it got set on fire and he died while cops were surrounding it

Half of this is wrong. The daughter and her fiance were the only civilians killed. The rest were all cops. He also committed suicide as the cabin burned.

More about the Dorner Story:

LAPD, trying to take him dead and not alive, fired a two old ladies driving a truck (of a different color) because the pigs thought it was him.

The police also refused, at first, to reimburse the old ladies for the truck they riddled with bullet holes with a new truck

yep

your serve and protect pigs at work

fucking heinous. they should be in prison for attempted murder.

Dorner is a fucking hero of injustice in general. Trying to do the right thing but his corrupt ass co workers and bosses fucked him over so he forced justice on them. I wish he would've lived at least a few more years while doing what he was doing, vigilante justice.

Shocker

Yep acab

Dorner fucked up at the end but he did everything right until he decided to start killing people. He did all the paperwork and appeals through his union for the complaint and contesting his discharge and did it all without making a giant stink about it on social media.

If he would have just stopped right there he might have become another Kaepernick like figure.

Of course he lost his shit and went around killing folks because he completely lost faith in the tools available in the legal system that were meant for fixing things but only ever made things worse.
