You Dare: Fox Reporter Erika Reidt Suspended for Eric Garner Comment- 'I Can Because I Obey The Law'

How insensitive???Not when many are upset and very sad....As many times as it’s resulted in the death of someone’s career, public figures still seem to keep forgetting that they need to keep a careful eye on their social media activity.
Erika Reidt, a Fox Sports correspondent for their Spanish language network, is the latest to fall to the Twitterverse’s court of public opinion. The Fox correspondent commented on an Instagram photo in which Kobe Bryant was pictured wearing an “I Can’t Breathe” shirt in protest of the Grand Jury’s decision in the Eric Garner case.
