#Activist wearing anti-cop mask says she was kicked off flight because she’s black

A Florida activist wearing a face mask with a vulgar anti-cop slogan on it claims she was kicked off an American Airlines flight because of her race.

“I think I got taken off the plane because I’m black,” Arlinda Johns told Local10.com. “My mask said ‘F–k 12’ and my shirt said, ‘Black Lives Matter.’”

Johns had just boarded the flight in Miami last week when a crew member asked her to cover up the slogan, which is slang for “F–k the police,” the outlet reported.

Johns said she replaced it with a different mask — but then had another tense conversation with the flight attendant.

“She came back and stood over [me] and said, ‘I better not see that other mask,’” Johns said. “I said, ‘Leave me alone, lady.’ She stood there, she said, ‘okay, I got you.’”

The airplane, which had pulled away from the gate for takeoff, then suddenly did a U-Turn — and Johns was escorted off of it, she said.

A spokesman for the airline told the outlet Johns was removed for using offensive language.

“Although [she] initially complied, [she] later continued to display the inappropriate language. After arriving at the gate, the passenger was asked to deplane,” the spokesman said. “[Johns] refused to follow crew member instructions to remove or cover a face mask with offensive language.”

The airline’s rules also note, “offensive clothing” is not allowed on flights.

But Johns — a local activist who believes in abolishing the police — said she was targeted for her race and outspoken political views.

Ultimately, she had to drive hundreds of miles to her destination in Illinois, she said.

“This is what American Airlines is doing, and this is what happened to me,” she fumed.
