As we told you last night, some delegates in the hall interrupted a moment of silence to honor police officers who have died in the line of duty to keep us all safe.
Well, Eric Garner daughter — Erica Garner — had strong feelings about the gesture, none of them good:
I walked out on @ABC for pulling this type of bullshit… I would have shut Philly the fuck down! #DNCinPHL a moment of silence … WHAT!?!?

Sigh. She’s referring to her well-publicized blow-up over not getting to ask a question at ABC’s town hall with President Obama on gun violence:

She continued with police officers know they have a dangerous, well-compensated job and getting killed is one of the risks:
ARE WE MISSING THE FACT THAT POLICE HAVE A CHOICE TO BE POLICE!?!?! #DNCinPHL

You sign up to jump in front of a bullet for a paycheck and a nice package for your family … I'm not surprised when the shit goes down

A Black person wakes up… and it could go down as a result… there is no equivocating with this shit… its a shame that its happening

Thank you to the PEOPLE in #DNCinPHL for repping for BLM during that fucked up moment of silence

Honoring police officers in now “a shame”? This is where we are in America, folks.
She also wasn’t a fan of Chelsea Clinton’s speech:
Chelsea is going to put me asleep #DNCinPHL

will she say Black rights are human rights? #DNCinPHL
— officialERICA GARNER (@es_snipes) July 29, 2016
I think chelsea is the dems version of Ben Carson… LOW Energy!!! #DNCinPHL
