\n The daughter of a black Alabama sheriff is criticizing the Blue Lives Matter movement, saying anyone who supports the law enforcement cause is racist and \u201cprivileged,\u201d according to reports.<\/p>\n

Gabrielle Pettway, daughter of Jefferson County Sheriff Mark Pettway, said in a recent TikTok video that she doesn\u2019t want to hear anyone using the \u201cBlue Lives Matter\u201d motto supporting law enforcement officers, AL.com reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dad is the sheriff in the largest county in the state of Alabama,\u201d Pettway said on the video, which has since been deleted. \u201cIt\u2019s scary at times, we\u2019ve gotten death threats before, but I\u2019m still not going to sit up and say Blue Lives Matter because it\u2019s undermining the racism and corruption built into the whole blue system.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pettway, who reportedly works as a teacher in Birmingham, said she\u2019d rather see people hold their loved ones who work in law enforcement \u201caccountable\u201d instead of blindly supporting them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat kind of conversations are y\u2019all having with your brothers, dads, moms, whoever\u2019s in law enforcement to hold them accountable and making sure they\u2019re part of the solution and not the problem?\u201d Pettway said. \u201cIt could be as simple as asking them, \u2018What are you doing to protect black and brown people?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Sheriff Pettway, a law enforcement vet of more than 27 years, was elected as the Jefferson County\u2019s first black sheriff in 2018, according to a department website.<\/p>\n

A message seeking comment from his office about his daughter\u2019s TikTok video was not immedia<\/a>tely returned early Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Gabrielle Pettway also acknowledged in the video that law enforcement officers risk their lives daily, but noted that \u201cthey chose that\u201d profession fully knowing of the dangers they would face while on the job.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlack people are risking their lives just by being black,\u201d she said in the video. \u201cGiven the choice, I would choose that again but I wouldn\u2019t choose oppression, too. Why does that have to come with being black?\u201d<\/p>\n

The sheriff\u2019s daughter ended her post by saying she needed to \u201cgo back\u201d to cleaning her room, AL.com reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut if you feel that there\u2019s nothing wrong with saying Blue Lives Matter, you\u2019re privileged,\u201d Gabrielle Pettway said. \u201cIt\u2019s inconsiderate, it\u2019s insensitive, it\u2019s distasteful and it\u2019s racist.\u201d<\/p>\n

A former investigator with the sheriff\u2019s office, meanwhile, said he thought Pettway\u2019s comments were unfortunate.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo me, it\u2019s just really disapp<\/a>ointing that a daughter would say that when her dad has walked the streets, and faced the danger, and depended on his big brothers to support him and back him up,\u201d David McAnally of the Jefferson County Fraternal Order of Police told WVTM.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
