On behalf of the largest police news outlet in the world, we're officially calling for the resignation or termination of this officer IMMEDIATELY.
A female Fort Worth police officer was caught on camera threatening to ticket a retired federal law enforcement officer and Christian street preacher for “offensive speech.”
The officer told the man that if someone is offended by his preaching, then “we have a problem” and said she would issue him a ticket. When he asked if she was really going to ticket him for offensive speech, she replied, “Yes, I am.”
This is a blatant violation of the First Amendment. Police officers do not have the authority to ticket people for speech that offends others. That is the exact opposite of how freedom of speech works in America.
The fact that this officer targeted a retired federal law enforcement officer who was simply preaching makes this even more unacceptable.
Departments that employ officers who openly disregard the Constitution need to clean house. This kind of behavior erodes public trust and makes every good officer’s job harder.
Pass this along so more people see what is happening on our streets.

The Fort Worth PD police account is an official government account. Because these pages serve as official government channels, courts—including the U.S. Supreme Court—have consistently ruled that blocking citizens based on their political or critical viewpoints violates their free speech rights.
In other words, it is illegal for them to block @libsoftiktok.
This police department really does not understand the first amendment.
Growing up hearing “Wikipedia isn't a valid source” and then entering a workplace where people say “just ask ChatGPT” is a surprisingly strange timeline
I have confirmed that this ICE-hating radical leftist works for @osbi_ok not the @okla_ag and it is clear she should be fired immediately. No law enforcement agency should employ someone who refuses to cooperate with ICE.
Trump new israel stance is such BS...
"Their blowing up whole apartment buildings"
Unlike your entire presidency when we've been seeing kids pulled out of rubble.... You just now noticed? Sure....
Trumps new stance is a mid term stance, nothing more.....
