The Department of Law says it and other departments were discussing possible social media guidelines before the latest post.

“…have been reviewing the possibility of adopting a policy or training procedure to help workers understand how negative behavior on social media could impact their job duties, without infringing on their First Amendment right to freedom of speech,” said Department of Law Assistant Attorney General Cori Mills.

Mills also said, right now, there is no statewide policy or guidance document in place. Mills would not comment if the department would have a discussion with Garner or punish him.
