 Cops fired for guarding ‘defund the police’ Dem Rep. Cori Bush without permission

Two St. Louis deputies were dismissed last month for working on progressive Rep. Cori Bush’s security detail without permission — days before the “Squad” member defended spending tens of thousands of campaign dollars on private protection while pushing to “defund the police.”

St. Louis Sheriff Vernon Betts told KMOV that he initially warned now-former deputies Tylance Jackson and Maurice Thompson to quit moonlighting as muscle for Bush (D-Mo.) and fill out the proper forms after they accompanied her on a tour of St. Louis jails in April. However, Betts said he was told by Veterans Affairs Police several weeks later that Jackson and Thompson were providing security for Bush again.

In addition to violating policy by not getting approval to work a secondary shift, neither Jackson nor Thompson have licenses to work private security, Betts told KMOV.

Jackson claimed Thursday that he and Thompson were dismissed because they “didn’t push the agenda of the sheriff on the client [Bush].”

“I do feel that the hand that was dealt to us was unfair and unjust,” Jackson told KMOV. “You let us go, but you still have a plethora of individuals doing that but you don’t say anything.”

So some of her security peeps are police officers whose colleagues she wants to render unemployed?     !

I'm sure she only wants to render those of the wrong pigmentation or political views unemployed. I sadly checked Tylance's(how the F' do these people come up with these names) bookface page, I can only imagine how he performed his job. Can't find a pic of Maurice but I bet either of the two would have trouble crying racism for the termination.

We need to learn to stick up for our people...like that.

WHY is it I think a NACP lawyur wrote that for him?

Having seen a picture of Vernon Betts, such a claim might have a basic problem.

Maybe, entitled Blacks have always been ready to throw the race card at other Blacks that don't tow the victimhood line.

Nah, that's where systemic racism comes in:  the system is so racist that for any black man to get ahead in the system, he has to turn against his own race and become just as racist as those evil whites (who, btw, are inherently and genetically racist).  So, natch, it's entirely possible - nay inevitable - that a black man in a position of power will be just as racist as his evil white overseers.
