** Sarandon Shares Post Calling NYPD Funeral Turnout ‘Fascism’
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
Left-wing activist and fading actress Susan Sarandon ([link removed]) shared a Twitter post on Tuesday ([link removed]) comparing police gathered at the funeral of slain NYPD Detective Jason Rivera to fascism.
The politically outspoken former star reposted a tweet from writer and podcaster Danny Haiphong, which showed a photo of the massive turnout of officers in Manhattan last week. The hashtag #abolishthepolice was added over the image.
“I’m gonna tell my kids this is what fascism looks like,” the original tweet stated. Sarandon added her own caption that read, “So, if all these cops weren’t needed for CRIME that day, doesn’t that mean they aren’t needed ANY day?”
“Of all the days for @SusanSarandon to share her true feelings towards police,” the National Fraternal Order of Police tweeted in response, “she picks the day we bury our fallen brother to make such inflammatory & brainless comments. When you spend more time hating on cops than you do your own career, it’s no wonder why you’re a D-list actor.”
The Police Benevolent Association of the City of New York also pushed back, writing, “This is what privilege looks like: a wealthy actress, safe in her bubble, mocking heroes & making light of the crisis that cops are battling alongside our communities. NYC is uniting to stop the violence — @SusanSarandon is living on a different planet.”

In April 2011, Sarandon and other AAUFCF members sent a letter to former president Jimmy Carter, praising him for speaking out in support of freedom for the Cuban 5.

In the fall of 2011 Sarandon supported the anti-capitalist Occupy Wall Street ([link removed]) (OWS) movemment. “It never changes from the top, it only changes from the bottom, and this is great,” she told an OWS contingent in New York City that September. The following month, Sarandon lauded OWS for striving “to shift the paradigm to something that’s addressing the huge gap between the rich and the poor.”
