#BlackLivesMatter activists have no sense of humor.
Australian actress Rebel Wilson appeared on Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards wearing a police uniform. She then removed her tunic to reveal a T-shirt saying “F**k the stripper police,” and explained it in this speech:
“A lot of people have problems with the police, but I really hate police strippers. You guys know what I’m talking about. They come to your house, you think you’re getting arrested, and you just get a lap dance that is usually uninspired! I hired a police stripper for my grandma’s 80th, and he wouldn’t even feel her up…. I hate this injustice, hence the shirt.”
Here’s the video, via MTV:
Her comments riled Black Lives Matter activist DeRay McKesson, who took to social media to complain:
.@RebelWilson/@MTV, police violence isn’t a joke, as the deaths of #TamirRice, #RekiaBoyd, #FreddieGray, #MikeBrown, & #MyaHall remind us.

@electrolemon @jordan_budd Rebel Wilson’s “stripper police” was a mockery of the past year and the lives of those killed by the police.

When’s the last time you heard a Holocaust, Sandy Hook, or Columbine joke at an awards show? Exactly. https://t.co/mBnjbra3QP

However, not everyone was so upset by Wilson’s monologue — especially after Friday’s ambush and murder of a Texas deputy sheriff by a black man.
@deray @RebelWilson @MTV you forgot to mention all the cops that died bruh

@deray @electrolemon @jordan_budd That’s a big stretch, and I don’t mean Ms. Wilson’s tights.

Even McKesson’s supporters thought he was stretching things a bit.
@deray you’re one of my heroes, but I honestly think you’re overreacting about this.

Sometimes a joke is just a joke.
