Mods move this if it fits in the Politics thread, but it has to do with race so I figured it could go here as well.

From the article:
Couldn't have said it better.
“Goodyear is committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace where all of our associates can do their best in a spirit of teamwork. As part of this commitment, we do allow our associates to express their support on racial injustice and other equity issues but ask that they refrain from workplace expressions, verbal or otherwise, in support of political campaigning for any candidate or political party as well as other similar forms of advocacy that fall outside the scope of equity issues.”
That'pretty shitty rationale on Goodyear's part. "We don't want any politics in the workplace... unless it's politics we support (or at least politics we're afraid to crack down on in the current political climate)."

Minneapolis police union President Bob Kroll bashes chief in radio interview
Minneapolis Police Federation President Bob Kroll lashed out at Chief Medaria Arradondo in a radio interview Tuesday and called for him to step down for failing to challenge city officials and protesters in the wake of George Floyd’s killing.
Kroll said it was his job as head of the union representing roughly 800 rank-and-file cops to call out “bad leadership” by Arradondo, the latest sign of growing friction between the two leaders. Arradondo made national headlines a few weeks after Floyd’s death when he pulled out of contract negotiations with the union, saying he intended to be on the “right side of history.”
“I’ve always gotten along with our current chief, and until this happened, we did get along better than any other (past chief), but I’m going to call out failed leadership where it’s at, and that is the entire command staff,” said the fiery police lieutenant, who until recently had been publicly supportive of Arradondo. “How can you be a copper 30-plus years and give up your integrity and just go with what you know is absolutely wrong.”

So, probably an office somewhere that the local management put it out, but not corporate....quite possible.

Yeah, that's also how you lose a franchise license.
As they should.
I sure wish the rioters / protesters / looters in the large AMERICAN cities would show proper recourse towards the Websters dictionary definition of Apathy and not some made up version: """"" Apathy is a lack of feeling, emotion, interest, or concern about something. It is a state of indifference, or the suppression of emotions such as concern, excitement, motivation, or passion. ... The apathetic may lack a sense of purpose, worth, or meaning in their life. """" ~~~~> AND JUST STAY AT HOME.

Article from the Chicago Tribune. Found it a bit funny that the Mayor of Chicago is using the police to protect her block and home from the protestors she previously cheered.
Citing threats, Mayor Lori Lightfoot defends ban on protesters on her block: ‘I have a right to make sure that my home is secure’

Definition and prime example of what happens with socialism/communism. Those with power take all.
How does this statement make any sense? This specific action was done in a democratic nation.
Watch, I can do the same thing.

Yeah, I don't know if it's an ideological thing, or just whoever is holding the office and enjoying the hypocrisy of the double-standard....

Yep! Much like the Soviet politburo who drove fancy cars and ate fancy feasts while the peasants starved. Reeks of, "rules for thee, but not for me".
I'm glad people are waking up to the hypocrisy of those who kindled this wave of Marxist unrest.

Not really. She tied the hands of her police department and did not allow them to disperse crowds and protect businesses and residences. She is no better than the private citizens that elected her. Then add to the fact that the Cook County DA of Jussie Fake Hate Crime Smollett fame is dropping charges on all rioters the morning after they've been arrested and releasing them.
Do I think that the Mayor should have a detachment making sure she's safe during this period? Sure. But assigning dozens of officers to her residence is hypocritical when private citizens in Chicago had both their lives and livelihoods threatened. Let your cops do their jobs.
The mayor could call the DA and express displeasure with her catch and release program.
The Machine runs that county, and the Machine can find a new DA.

Like most elected positions of different governments (city vs county) The DA could care less what the Mayor says...and vice versa.
