Reacting to five members of the St. Louis Rams coming onto the field for
Sunday’s game displaying the ‘hands up, don’t shoot’ gesture, a St. Louis police officers fraternal organization is demanding the team discipline the players, and that the team and league issue a formal apology, reports KSDK. In a statement released Sunday evening, the St. Louis Police Officers Association condemned the display, calling it “tasteless, offensive and inflammatory.” Prior to player introductions before Sunday’s game, five players — Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin, Jared Cook, Chris Givens, and Kenny Britt — came out onto the field first with their hands in the air prior to being joined by their teammates. Responding to the display, the statement reads, “The St. Louis Police Officers Association is profoundly disappointed with the members of the St. Louis Rams football team who chose to ignore the mountains of evidence released from the St. Louis County Grand Jury this week and engage in a display that police officers around the nation found tasteless, offensive and inflammatory.” * * * * What is tasteless, offensive and inflammatory is the number of incidents in which police beat up, shoot, and kill unarmed civilians. -- I feel no need to explain my politics to stupid right-wingers. After all, I am *not* the Jackass Whisperer. |

One or two (or even 10) media reports of police encounters that result in physical violence doesn't sound unusual at all to me considering the many millions of encounters that must occur in that time frame. The cops are dealing with drunks, drug addicts, domestic violence and other mentally disturbed people everyday. That's in addition to hard core criminals caught in the act. A cop has to size up a situation very quickly to protect himself and others around him. At the first sign of belligerence or resist they get physical very quickly to prevent the situation from getting out of control. It's the ones that try to reason with the punks that end up getting hurt or killed. |
