No racist comments, no alleged history of racial animosity or discrimination, just flying the flag (below the American flag, not above or equal to it), and she gets fired, with the department using Dylan Roof to cast aspersion upon the flag and any who might have one.
I'm a police officer, so if I fly an Irish flag at my house, could I be fired because someone who calls the police thinks I might show up drunk? If I fly a German flag, does someone who is Jewish need to fear I'm secretly a neo-Nazi so the department should just let me go? I have Irish and German ancestry, but somehow that could be construed as conduct unbecoming? So the same stereotyping these jackoffs assume to be lurking within anyone who owns some symbol they don't like, is OK to be applied to those people by them, to the extent that they are causing job loss and public discredit to someone who has done nothing wrong. Pathetic!
