"At first, Sheriff Robert Arnold said he had no explanation for why shots were fired outside his home in Rutherford County, Tenn., on Monday night — except perhaps for an undercurrent of anti-police sentiment in America.“ 'You do make people mad when you do your job; so that’s the only thing I could think of,” Arnold said at a news conference Tuesday, according to edited video of his comments posted by the Daily News Journal."But then another possibility came to mind, and Arnold blamed Beyoncé.“ 'With everything that happened since the Super Bowl… that’s what I’m thinking: Here’s another target on law enforcement,” he said."He went on: “You have Beyoncé’s video and that’s kind of bled over into other things, it seems.”"In a subsequent statement, Arnold said that his remarks “reflect the violence and senseless killing of seven deputies in the U.S. since the show aired. My comments are an observation of the violence that has occurred but in no way is meant to offend anyone.' ” . . .
Requests for TPD officers to work Beyonce concert unfilled
"Beyonce has taken a lot of heat for her new song “Formation,” which critics claim has an anti-cop message. Some Tampa Police officers might agree, if the request to work her upcoming Tampa concert is any indication. No one has agreed to do it." . . .
