The principal of North Miami Senior High School has lost his job over his Facebook comment defending the Texas police officer caught on video pushing a teen girl to the ground in an incident at a community pool.
[. . .]
"If you're running a majority black school and you say a remark such as that people will not respect you," student Price Testinobles said.
"Of course teachers and parents and students they're gonna see it (the post) it's not his job to go comment on with the police were doing," added another student.

This is the Chilling Effect in action. What happened to the ACLU? People are being intimidated by thugs who threaten free thought and free speech. It is the road to totalitarianism. Few young people are taught the purpose of the Constitution and especially the First Amendment. It is to protect speech that you hate. Hating speech is no reason to shut it down. Emotions do not make for rational thought or public policies. It does encourage mob rule. The current White House thrives in the misguided atmosphere of emotional manipulation. The intimidation extends to the spineless Chief of Police in McKinney, Texas who did not support Officer Casebolt, as well as to the school board in North Miami made up of similarly spineless officials.

In a public post on a story about the Texas incident on the Miami Herald's website, Iber wrote that Officer David Eric Casebolt, who has since resigned, did nothing wrong and was afraid for his life.
In the comment section, believing he would be anonymous Iber posted,'He did nothing wrong. He was afraid for his life. I commend him for his actions.'
But the post included Iber's Facebook picture, name, school and title.
The comment was later deleted, but not before it had been screenshotted and passed around social media.
Iber told the Herald that he supports law enforcement and was sorry if his opinion upset people.
