Chelsea Manning is still around? Thanks, Obama!
The transgender Army soldier who was convicted for leaking classified information took to Twitter on Tuesday to disparage police on Law Enforcement Appreciation Day.

“F**k the police,” Manning wrote. She also included the hashtag “#DisarmThePolice.”
The leaker, whose original 35-year sentence was commuted to seven by President Obama, didn’t relent when confronted by other Twitter users.

In a follow-up tweet, Manning claimed the US is under “domestic occupation” and shared statistics about police demographics.

She also accused police of killing with “absolute impunity” and of stealing private property.

police and prosecutors steal more through “civil asset forfeiture” than all “property crime” combined

Some of the former soldier’s followers encouraged her controversial tweets.
Yes. You are always SO ON POINT. Grateful to have you in this world sister! Fighting with you always. ???✊?

I’ve been reflecting, and I think that’s the Most Insightful observation I’ve read…

Many more users blasted Manning’s characterization of police officers.
Sincerely hope you never need a police officer to come protect you. Baltimore is already learning that lesson.

I don’t think you’re in any position to be pointing fingers! You pretty much betrayed your country….so there’s that!

That would depend on who is wearing the uniform and carrying the shiny pieces of metal. Normally, when it’s the Americans, innocent lives are protected and bad guys are defeated.

Hope you never have reason to call them. It would serve you right if they didn’t show up. I wouldn’t.

Sweetheart – lemme tell you something:
The only reason you can walk through some parts of Brooklyn or Bronx or Queens and come out in one piece as a transgender is BECAUSE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.— Dan Pullit ?? (@pullitzerdan) January 9, 2018
Now it makes sense why you should still be in prison.

Manning’s release from prison last year was met with criticism by President Trump.

The president is always able to capture what Americans are thinking: we would all be better off if Chelsea Manning was still locked away where nobody can hear her.
