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.

Have you ever seen a US Secretary travel this way?
Usually it's private jets and limos.
Pete Hegseth had all that already.
He gave it up to save our military.
Pete Hegseth is a badass, huh?
I am a J6er.
Most Americans celebrate the 4th of July as the day freedom was born.
For J6ers it hits different.
We were the ones who loved this country enough to stand up when we saw it slipping away. Just like the patriots of the Revolutionary War who pointed the bully in the face and said no โ we did the same.
For that they raided our homes, destroyed our businesses, shattered our families, and threw us in prison for walking through open doors.
Our freedom was taken by the very country we were trying to save.
Some days the fireworks feel hollow. The parades feel distant. Itโs hard to celebrate when the land you love treated you like the enemy.
But we are still here.
We are the ones who remember what real freedom actually costs.
We are the ones who will never stop fighting for it.
Happy 4th of July. Freedom isn't free.
God Bless the J6ers!
