Photo of West Point cadets posing with raised fists causes controversy in military circles over perceived 'Black Lives Matter' support

 A photo of 16 black West Point cadets raising their fists is causing controversy, with many offended viewers linking the image to supporting the “Black Lives Matter” movement.

The image would violate West Point’s policies against participating in political acts or movements while in uniform, if the cadets' raised fists represent support for the activist group.

“We can confirm that the cadets in this photo are members of the U.S. Military Academy’s Class of 2016,” Lt. Christopher Kasker, a spokesman for West Point, told the Daily News in a statement. “Academy officials are conducting an inquiry into the matter.”

These West Point cadets got a full ride education on my dime. I would hope that disciplinary action is initiated immediately.
