Apparently a tweet can be worse than killing a human being when you consider the numerous times unarmed people have died at the hands of police, such as the recently recalled event with Eric Garner, where choke-holds are expressly forbidden yet plainly used in the video and as determined by the coroner who examined the body and found bruises and hemorrhaging of the throat which he determined contributed to health issues to bring about death.
Or the fellow who was in his backyard talking on his cellphone and police nearby going to the wrong address mistook his phone for a gun and shot him to death.
Or the person stumbling around disorientated because they had mental and health problems had missed their medication and did not understand English were mistaken for an uncooperative drunk and shot to death.
Coincidentally, in all these cases the victim was Black or a person of color. Just sayin.'
Yet in none of these cases and many more, were the police involved found guilty of anything or fired. Of course there is more to each case, but the point here is that apparently you can get fired far more easily as a police office for just posting insensitive or politically charged comments on Facebook than you can for actually killing another human being. Just sayin'.

The funny thing is that with all these firings, Philadelphia could be short a lot of manpower (sorry, PEOPLE power) now leading to just more crimes and deaths. But at least we are cleaning up the Facebook and Twitter pages.
