Antifa Cop Fired Over Insane Social Media Posts

A North Carolina police officer who declared he was “Antifa” in a post on the social media app BlueSky was fired Monday by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, according to the News & Observer.

Brian Edwards, 37, served as a detention officer for the agency while making the posts and had been promoted to corporal in May, the News & Observer reported. Edwards’ posts included calls for subjecting “traitors” to “war crimes trials” and hinted at executing them.

“I maintain that the biggest mistake the US government has ever made was letting the traitors from the civil war back into our country without punishment,” Edwards posted on BlueSky, according to the X account “Mostly Peaceful.” “When this is over and the right wing is once again [defeated, we] will not make that same mistake.”

It seems Brian has declared himself a member of Antifa

Apparently he feels the right should face war tribunals, be thrown in prison, and be executed by guillotine.

“There will be war crimes trials and I can’t wait to see every one of them thrown into prison for the rest of their lives,” Edwards continued in the post. “It may even be time to bring back the guillotine.”

Edwards also posted photos of a guitar with the phrase “This Machine Kills Fascists” on his BlueSky account.

“We must maintain the public trust as we go about our mission to protect, serve, and treat everyone with dignity and respect,” Orange County Sheriff Charles Blackwood told the News & Observer after confirming Edwards’ termination for violating the office’s standards of conduct and social network policies.

President Donald Trump declared Antifa a domestic terrorist organization on Wednesday in a post on Truth Social.

“I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices,” Trump posted.

The organization was involved in the violent riots in the wake of the May 2020 death of George Floyd and in January 2021 riots in Portland, Oregon. Members of the group also attacked and beat journalist Andy Ngo in Portland in June 2019.
