The killing of George Floyd has created a rage across the globe. Celebs and commoners in the US have joined the Black Lives Matter movement to raise their voice against racism. Several actors and shows have been criticised for promoting racist culture and now, even the cartoon show, PAW Patrol, is been targeted by netizens.
PAW Patrol has been targetted as it is being said to promote the police only in positive light. As we all know, the death of George Floyd has infuriated people over the cops, so such shows are also now receiving flak. Some people have even demanded to ban the show.
PAW Patrol’s official handle posted a tweet a few days ago, which triggered reactions. The tweet read, “In solidarity of #amplifymelanatedvoices we will be muting our content until June 7th to give access for Black voices to be heard so we can continue to listen and further our learning. #amplifyblackvoices.”

The post saw mixed reactions coming in and some even dragged it into a racism debate over Chase’s character (German shepherd who is a cop). One user wrote, “I hope the cop dog falls into a toaster.” Another wrote supported the show and wrote, “Well I don’t see problem why he can’t be a police dog, the police is not evil they do duty to protect the community from criminals like thief’s, murders and keep the peace. Obviously there always going to be bad apples but they shouldn’t represent all the police force.”
