2 white New Jersey men who reenacted George Floyd's death at counterprotest suspended from jobs

Two white men who mockingly recreated George Floyd’s death at a protest in New Jersey have been suspended from their jobs, according to reports.

One man, a New Jersey corrections officer, and the other, a FedEx employee, are both being investigated, Philadelphia ABC affiliate WPVI reported.

The men were spotted at a protest Monday in Franklinville in South Jersey, according to local NBC affiliate WCAU. Video of their stunt was viewed thousands of times on social media.

In that video and others recorded, the two men and their friends beside them can be heard yelling “Black lives matter to no one” and “All lives matter, police lives matter.”

Are you upset the sociopathic racist was fired or what? I am honestly asking, as your post is confusing.

Just went by the title of the post. I would have said the same thing if I hadn't clicked on the story earlier and I only read it because Franklinville is about twenty minutes from where I live. Yeah, there are some real goobers out here but I guess there are real goobers everywhere now.

Turns out black lives matter to a lot of people...but your white privilege? Not as much as you thought.
