SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. — Unlike the last five years, “Dancing Cop” Tony Lepore will not be part of the annual South Kingstown Fire Fighters Relief Association parade on Sept. 24.
Lepore, 69, who until 2015 was hired every December to entertain drivers and pedestrians with his high-energy, whistle-blowing, butt-wiggling traffic cop routine at certain Providence intersections, became a controversial figure when he led a boycott of a Dunkin’ Donuts branch where an employee had written “Black Lives Matter” on a coffee cup and handed it to a police officer.
“I stuck up for a police officer. That’s it,” Lepore said Thursday in discussing why he is characterized as holding racist and white supremacist views.
Amber Collins, 40, is a South Kingstown mother who is studying to become a minister and launched a social media campaign against Lepore being in the parade. “I understand that I have privilege,” she said Thursday. “I will use that privilege to stand up against white supremacy.”
Nathan Street, president of the relief association, issued a letter Wednesday saying the parade organizers had voted in August to withdraw Lepore’s invitation.
The reason: Potential disruptions at the parade “could possibly be a risk to public safety,” Street’s letter says. But the committee still had a contractual obligation, so Lepore was paid.
Within 10 minutes of learning he had been uninvited, Lepore said, he accepted a parade in Mendon, Massachusetts.
A few weeks ago we wrote this blog about a looney SJW dumpling who started a petition to block Tony Lepore, the Providence Dancing Cop, from performing at the South Kingston Fire Fighters parade. The parade organizers have since pussied out and canceled Lepore’s appearance to avoid “disruptions.”
Waaah-mber Collins thinks she’s won, but jokes her because Lepore is still getting paid for the job. I read that he was fired and I was so pissed. Then I found out that they’re going to pay him anyways, probably due to a signed contract, and I laughed my little turtle butt off.
Classic SJW fail. This gave Waah-mber more reason to boo-hoo on Facebook and get the Butthurt Brigade riled up again. Please someone get the Preparation H care packages ready to send, the butt hurts are strong in SJW land.
The justifications are amazing, but the pouting and condolences made my little heart soar. Nothing lifts my spirits more than the crash and burn of a good SJW petition orgy.
Yea, if he just adopts Waah-mber’s reasoning and wears a BLM pin all will be forgiven. First, NOPE and second, who gives a shit what Waah-mber The Enlightener thinks? I’d consult my cat before I went to Waah-mber for advice, unless I need the scoop about FAILING at being a SJW in which case she’s the Einstein of that curriculum.
WWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Nobody should be writing anything on the coffee cup that you purchase. That is nothing more than an attempt from the minimum wage worker at Dunkin Donuts to force his radical political views on another person. In this case, he attempted to intimidate a police officer, and when the police officer spoke out, the city was afraid to back him up because they are weak and ineffective.
SJW’s are ugly women who were never asked to the prom. And they became angry and remain angry for the rest of their lives. Sad group of humans.
I’m not sure what was more cringe inducing – the salty butt hurt or the over the top virtue signalling.
Are these people morons. Used to be you disageee you got labeled racist. Then racist lost all meaning and became a useless term Now its “white supremist” which has already started losing any meaning except you disagree with looney left.
Yet another great exposure by the only honest media around.
“Using taxpayer funding to pay someone not to do something because they feel bad for him must be illegal.”
Wtf do you call welfare and food stamps? Best part is, I bet this kid is a Bernie Bro too stupid to realize what he’s saying.

I’m an avid Turtle rider, but I have to come clean. With a few exceptions, the jargon you create to describe people really takes away from your ability to be considered real news. The first few times it was funny, but its getting to the point where it is more annoying and cringey than anything. You report things like they are, without sugarcoating anything, and refuse to take crap from anyone (especially SJW), but to turn around and use immature jibberish is damaging to your reputation
You’re not “coming clean” about anything when you come on here leaving an anonymous ass comment. Go type this up on Facebook… You wont. Because you’re pathetic.
What an obnoxious bitch. Imagine being married to that. Having to deal with her bullshit everyday. I would get up, walk outside and step into oncoming traffic.
Click through to the previous post. In the past he’s actually run for local office an an SJW or Bernie-type candidate. Fortunately the community was spared, as he lost.
Anyone remember that retarded/inbred kid in the movie Gummo? (1995?)
…yeah, same hat.
Rabbits are queer, I hate fuckin rabbits
Wkuldn’t it be great if a dozen residents showed up in costume, doing a “dancing cop” routine just to get Amber all triggered, like?
If the dancing cop becomes the symbol of your enemy, you have way too much fucking time on your hands. Who gives a shit what he says politically… he’s one step above face paint, a red nose, and floppy shoes.
By the way, for anyone who hasn’t seen what Amber is screeching about, there’s videos of him on Youtube. When he was still on the force, he had fun doing his job and he put a smile on people’s faces. OMG, can’t have that!
Another lefty, hater fascist. Forcing her views on others. While she could be making money. Using her giant forehead to advertise.
Bunch of hyphenated, hating hags.

No need to add any more.
“I understand that I have privilege,” she said Thursday. “I will use that privilege to stand up against white supremacy.”
Haha! What the fuck does this even mean?
