@harryfisherEMTP Please dwell on those you helped at a critical time, like me & my grandkids. We are all doing so well but could have been telling a very different story if not crossing your path. God bless you Harry !
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.

@harryfisherEMTP@akittenmonkey Harry, you’ve saved many life’s not only with your talents but with your shared knowledge that prevented some of us ( me included) from making a grave mistake. But there will never be accountability so many deserve.
