A New York City actress was fired from her job after she posted a disturbing rant on social media about the funeral of 22-year-old fallen police officer Jason Rivera.

Thousands of NYPD officers and mourners lined the streets of New York City to mourn Rivera, who was killed in the line of duty.

Rivera was walking down a long hallway in his uniform when 47-year-old Lashawn McNeil opened fire and killed him as well as his 27-year-old partner Wilbert More.

Actress Jacqueline Guzman responded, “We do not need to shut down most of Lower Manhattan because one cop died for probably doing his job incorrectly.”

“They kill people who are under 22 every single day for no good reason and we don’t shut down the city for them,” seh continued.

She continued, “Like this is f****** ridiculous. This is f****** ridiculous. What if somebody is having a heart attack in this area? Nobody can get to them because it’s all blocked off for one f****** cop.”

She later deleted the post, but it was captured by various outlets beforehand. Watch the video:

Police officers and social media commenters rebuked Guzman’s complaints, calling her “disrespectful” and saying she should be “ashamed” of herself.

“Twitter is forever. Bless your unemployed heart,” another wrote.

“New Yorkers turned out by the thousands yesterday to help us honor our fallen brother,” New York City Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch said in a statement, according to the Post. “One person spreading hate cannot erase that. This kind of garbage has polluted the conversation for far too long. We need the New Yorkers who are standing with us to speak up and push back.”

Her employer, Face to Face Films, wrote on its Facebook page Saturday, it had “just been made aware of an insensitive video involving one of our members, Jacqueline Guzman. Face to Face Films does not support nor can condone these comments made about fallen Officer Rivera. As a result, she is no longer a member of our company.”
