Tiffany Haddish, the comedian and actress who appeared in films including "Girls Trip" and "Keanu," is outraging animal rights activists with an Instagram video vowing to keep wearing furs until police "stop killing black people."
Haddish, who posted a clip in which she's wearing a fur vest given to her by a fan after a show at the Comedy Store in West Hollywood, Calif., said she's protesting deaths of minorities in policy custody. Such cases garnered national scrutiny after incidents including the shooting death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray in Baltimore in 2015, which prompted riots.
In 2018, an off-duty Dallas officer fatally shot 26-year-old accountant Botham Shem Jean when she mistook his apartment for her own, and 22-year-old Stephon Clark was shot dead in his grandmother’s backyard by police investigating property damage in Sacramento, according to the New York Times. An officer was fired in six of 15 prominent cases over a three-year period but only convicted at trial in three, the news organization said.

Hummmm Freddie gray was shot?????
We won't kill them if they cooperate.
Freddie Gray wasn’t shot.
I'd be more impressed if she stopped shaving and plucking her own fur, from eyebrows to toes.
wait, what? "the shooting death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray in Baltimore in 2015, which prompted riots." FAKE NEWS!
she just using that as an excuse to wear fur!
I didn't know Freddie Gray was a "shooting death" by police...
Freddy Gray, however, was not shot.
If you obey the law and officer's instructions you will live. If you believe you were wronged in any way then get a lawyer. Think long term, not in the present.
She just sounded so ignorant when she was talking this crap.
