๐จ IT'S OFFICIAL: Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon has launched an INVESTIGATION at DOJ Civil Rights after MULTIPLE Fort Worth, Texas officers were spotted threatening to ARREST or cite a Christian preacher, and exposed by @libsoftiktok
PROTECT CHRISTIANS! ๐๐ป
They should be FIRED.
This is UNACCEPTABLE from any police department nationwide.
@WFCPreacher
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 โoffensive speech.โ
The officer told the man that if someone is offended by his preaching, then โwe have a problemโ and said she would issue him a ticket. When he asked if she was really going to ticket him for offensive speech, she replied, โYes, I am.โ
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 officerโs job harder.
Pass this along so more people see what is happening on our streets.
