1. Deformation of character? How many from Ferguson

have been added to watch lists?

That qualifies for no donut.

6. +1 nt

9. +1000

From what I understand, his boss encouraged him to make the call.

2. Why do you think she was fired? Didn't hear her say that on the video. n/t

[Live and Learn]

5. Because a friggen cop called her boss.

It really doesn't take much for the police to intimidate anyone, including your boss.

11. That was awful of the cop to do that, but it doesn't mean she was fired.

I think she would have explicitly said she was fired while on the phone with him, if that were the case.

3. Yikes, it is Short Stack. She's one of the UStreamers

that helped bring the Ferguson coverage to the forefront. Shame on this officer! And shame on her boss!

I hope she brings suit against both Officer Keith Novara, his employer (SMLPD) and her own employer. I also hope someone sets up a fund for donations for her so I can contribute.

And I certainly hope that no DUer defends what this officer did!

4. When cops can report a person and get them fired

for activism (against police brutality, yet) to their employer, you know we are doomed.

7. Twitter info on officer involved if anyone cares:

Keith Novara 314-303-2971

[e-mail] let him know intimidation doesn't work

10. Love this guy!

His tweets in our argument with racists woman (thinking cop's wife) last night were epic. He said it happens again, he's posting more information on cop.

8. I am not sure she was fired

She hasn't tweeted that. Do you know that for sure? Seems like the boss was very informative with her.

That cop should be canned. Intimidation tactics to that level is an egregious offense. I am sure he was one of the asshats banging his night stick in an attempt to intimidate the peaceful protesters on the bridge in St Louis Saturday night.

This insanity has to end. St. Louis cops are unbelievably horrible

12. I guess I just assumed she was because she was so upset.

But, I guess just knowing about the calls would be quite upsetting. Thanks for bringing it to my attention that she doesn't appear to have been fired. That was obviously his goal and it is a disgusting tactic and should be illegal.

13. Well all his buddies

And other racists are doing their damnedest to make sure she is canned. The disruption alone may end in here dismissal.

I was honestly asking. I wasn't sure at the time if she was fired or not.

Thanks for the post. I don't understand how this isn't a top story here and everywhere, every day.
