Joining other Silicon Valley tech companies such as Microsoft, Google and Twitter, internet radio service Pandora has expressed their support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Pandora tweeted from their official Twitter account saying “We stand together.#BlackLivesMatter #LoveAboveAll” followed by an image with the following message,
“Our hearts ache for all those who unfairly lost their lives. We stand with marginalized communities. We stand for racial justice. We stand for equity. And we stand together to make this world a better place. #BlackLivesMatter #LoveAboveAll”

Users however, did not all share the same sentiment as Pandora, many of them feeling that this post was particularly insensitive following the murder of 5 police officers in acts of anti-police and anti-white hatred.
Here are just a few of the tweets,
a day after BLM killed 5 officers and wounded many more. Very classy Pandora.
