In the wake of the brutal, cold-blooded murder of two New York Police Department officers earlier today, actress Stacey Dash called for New York mayor Bill de Blasio’s resignation:
.@deBlasioNYC has no business being at this press conference and should resign before the end of the year. #NYPD #hypocrite

Approximately 120 police officers have lost there lives in the line of duty in 2014. http://t.co/L6yA1vRU86 #NYPD

Dash is a staunch supporter of New York police, God bless her:

Should the families of cops now riot? Shouldn't @donlemon & @VanJones68 be in the streets?

Her tweets have sparked so much animosity that her name has become a trending topic:
Here is a tiny sampling of the vitriol aimed at Dash this evening:
@REALStaceyDash @donlemon @VanJones68 Stacy Dash you say the stupidest shit. Its not hard to see why your family disowns you. #Seriously

In other words, the usual nonsense that we’ve come to expect from the Left.
Many of her critics seized on her use of the word “jihad” to describe the divisive anti-police rhetoric of Mayor de Blasio and Rev. Al Sharpton:
@REALStaceyDash When did @deBlasioNYC or @TheRevAl call for a' jihad' on cops? Using your platform to spread hyperbole/lies is disgraceful.
— Julie (@nihonmama) December 21, 2014
LMAO @REALStaceyDash used Jihad to describe what happened to the NYPD officer. She definitely doesn't know what the word means
— Ronald A Coon, yeah (@dBdaSportsGuru) December 21, 2014
Stacey dash tweets are so illogical lol. How you gonna call a man killing cops jihad, do you know what jihad means lol?
— Wavy Crockett (@ItsChrisMadness) December 21, 2014
GIRL. @REALStaceyDash do you even know what Jihad actually means – the non-sensationalized, non-media, GOOGABLE definition? Ur Offensive.
— yall are really testin me on sum stuff that I… (@Roberts_Rules) December 21, 2014

Yes, let’s do that.
According to Merriam-Webster, one of two definitions of the word “jihad” is “a crusade for a principle or belief.”
According to Dictionary.com one of two definitions of “jihad” is “any vigorous, emotional crusade for an idea or principle.”
In short, she used the word correctly.
And, unfortunately for her critics, she isn’t backing down:
They wish. Lol “@412Tweet: @REALStaceyDash Excuse me miss. Just stay pretty and don't tweet your opinions. http://t.co/agQudDJupe”

If only Dash’s critics hated cop-killers as much they hate the actress for speaking truth to criminal-coddling power.
