South Florida civil rights leaders held a protest Wednesday in connection with controversial comments made by a Miami-Dade Fire Department Captain in the Trayvon Martin case.
.
.
Beckmann’s personal Facebook posting read, “I and my coworkers could rewrite the book on whether our urban youths are victims of racist profiling or products of their failed, *expletive*, ignorant, pathetic, welfare dependent excuses for parents.”
.
.
With papers in hand Dunn led the activists up to the 29th floor at County Hall and demanded to meet with the Mayor. Mayor Carlos Gimenez, however, was out at an event in Hialeah. They pledged to keep the pressure on Gimenez until he decides what should be done.
.
.
“His actions or no actions will indicate how he feels about Mr. Brian Beckman’s statements. About Mr. Brian Beckman’s racism.” said Dunn.

Beckmann didn't even mention race. Note the not too thinly veiled threat at the mayor. One of the speakers (guy from Federation of Black Employees) said he was outraged that his tax dollars would be used to pay Backmann's salary - the irony is rich there.

Funny, they don’t like the charge, but they are not rebutting it either.

Protesters Want Fire Capt. Disciplined (Trayvon Martin) Tray-von is a Fire Captain now? What a solid citizen he must have been.
You don't just get to be a Fire Captain because you sport a hoodie, you know.

You have freedom of speech, so long as the Libtards approve of what you said ....
Funny, it doesn’t work the other way.

“I and my coworkers could rewrite the book on whether our urban youths are victims of racist profiling or products of their failed, *expletive*, ignorant, pathetic, welfare dependent excuses for parents.” Speaking 'truth' to power - or truth to the powerless - or 'truth' to anyone - will get a person fired. And barbecued by the MSM - a group who's job it is to keep all myths going - no matter how stupid or easily disproved...

Morons coming out of the woodwork like cockroaches in a condemned building.No, professional agitators & demagogues, who know how to play the blame game. It has been the staple of revolutionary demagogues & agitators since the Jacobins took over France in 1789. It worked for Lenin & Trotsky in 1917. It worked for Hitler in 1930-1933. It worked for Obama in 2008. We will get our belly full of it, this summer.

Funny, they don’t like the charge, but they are not rebutting it either. Here's the liberal 'rebuttal': that's mean and racist... and we'll stick our big brother ( the MSM ) on you for speaking. Freedom of speech is only for those who parrot liberal elite dogma.

These people get angry when you get in the way of their lynching.
They are a lynch mob and will pick any victim who gets in their way,
The Judge knew that and she ran, I don’t blame her.
This thing is going to make OJ’s trial look like a picnic.
