Over 20 years ago, a U.S. Supreme Court decision severely limited the First Amendment rights of public service employees, and permitted agency heads to fire any employee whose speech or symbolic expression caused problems in the workplace. Public agencies have extended this license to cover expressions by employees when they are off-duty. However, I have never seen such punishment meted out to blacks. That’s why I knew that Officer Todd Snipes had to be white, when I read about this incident elsewhere.
Racist black preacher Ronald Durham, the leader of the Black Clergy Alliance:
“I’m absolutely appalled at the insensitivity of Mr. Snipes.
“What would happen if an African-American or another minority person were in an emergency situation? Would the first thought he had would be that that individual is a thug before he even knew what the situation was, and therefore, not respond?”
Mr. Durham wants Snipes immediately fired…
Note Durham’s dishonesty: Everyone in the world, and even people on other planets with cable, knows that Trayvon Martin was a thug. Is Durham saying that Martin was an angel, or that all blacks are as thuggish as he was? No, what he’s saying is, ‘Never mind my nonsensical statement. As a black man, it is my prerogative to spew nonsense. All you need to understand is this: Fire that cracker immediately!’
Folks, be very careful out there. Blacks are out for blood even more than usual. They are seeking not only to beat, maim, and murder whites, but to get them fired from their jobs for Trayvon.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. —A longtime officer with Volusia County's Beach Safety department is accused of making racially insensitive comments on Facebook about the outcome of the George Zimmerman trial.
Jail deputy reprimanded over Trayvon-related act
A Brevard County Jail deputy was reprimanded after bringing a can of iced tea and a bag of Skittles to work during the Zimmerman trial.
Officer Todd Snipes, 45, is on paid administrative leave and under internal investigation.
County Spokesman Dave Byron said officials learned Wednesday that Snipes may have again sullied his department's name.
"When you work for the public I think the public has every right to hold you to a very high standard," Byron said. "These clearly are images that are racially insensitive. They're not appropriate in our workplace at any time."
Snipes, an employee for more than two decades, allegedly received disturbing pictures from a friend mocking Trayvon Martin and at least one prosecution witness and made derogatory comments about them and the entire situation in online exchanges, according to authorities.
"I don't think anyone with any conscience would feel these images are appropriate," Rev. Ronald Durham said.
Durham, a pastor and well known leader, says he's appalled at the insensitivity.
"It goes beyond the pale to think that an individual who is supposed to be protecting the citizens of our county has this kind of feeling deep inside of him," Durham said.
County leaders have condemned Snipes' actions and promise swift action under a policy that allows disciplining employees for any conduct on or off duty that reflects unfavorably on the department.

So we ordinary citizens and the cops who many have been the victims of black racist thugs, must respect dead black hoodlums even though we are glad the dead racist hoodlum is dead making a safer world for us all.
Here is what a more sensible preacher said:

The true definition of a "shovel ready" project.
Trayvon's grave.
Racist hoodlum? What else will you poor little victims try to make out of that poor child? Yes, normal civil person does have a respect for the dead but that is not your case obviously. Unbelievable and sad that you trolls aren't ashamed of your pathetic whining even on such tragic occasion. 'Safer world' would be if one of you was in Trayvon's place.
cop was SPOT ON!
"The images included this one mocking Martin's friend and prosecution witness Rachel Jeantel. She [sic] made to look like a Shrek character"
Jeantel committed perjury in a capital case. That of itself is a capital case. Jeantel said she was on the phone with Treyvons when the "incident" with Zimm occurred. She was not. Another girl, Eugenie Diamond was on the phone and not Jeantel. Crump the Chump lawyer wanted Eugenie to lie and she would not. So the Chump coached Jeantel what to say.
Coaching someone to commit perjury I would assume is a capital case too.
Zimm supposedly filed a civil suit against Chump and the parents of Treyvons. Heard nothing more.
