For his actions, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia called for Rodney Muhammad to be fired from his NAACP role.

Despite demands by a group affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement to stop allowing the Atlanta Police Department to train with Israeli police, Mayor of Atlanta Kasim Reed refused, saying US police officers benefit greatly from Israel's counter-terrorism expertise.
