The email [from Maj. Bridget Hallahan, who commands the police department's Fifth Division] begins by saying: "I know it is hard to keep our thoughts and opinions to ourselves sometimes, especially when we, as a whole or as an individual, become the target of people in the public who criticize what we do without even knowing the facts.
"These ANTIFA and BLM people, especially the ones who just jumped on the bandwagon 'yesterday' because they became 'woke' (insert eye roll here), do not deserve a second glance or thought from us," it continues. "Our little pinky toenails have more character, morals, and ethics, than these punks have in their entire body."
"Do not stoop to their level. Do not respond to them. If we do, we only validate what they did. Don't make them important, because they are not. They will be the ones washing our cars, cashing us out at the Walmart, or living in their parents' basement playing COD for their entire life."
[...]
Hallahan goes on to say, "If you need to bitch about it and get it off your chest, come to my office and we can vent together."
Yes, Hallahan's email breaches decorum, and it makes sense she would be reprimanded for that reason.
However, don't pretend there isn't a context in which this email is taking place:
"Do not stoop to their level. Do not respond to them. If we do, we only validate what they did."
