His co-workers were openly vocal about the impact of the Eric Garner-related protests (blocked traffic) but silent on the issue itself. I think that's worthy of criticism, even if it is human nature to avoid issues until they impact you directly.

Why is that worthy of criticism? I think that it's also human nature to refrain from talking politics at work.

Personally, political issues are usually reserved for friends & family...I don't bring them into the workplace.
