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.

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. |

Maybe the police unions should get more involved with policing bad cops. Maybe you should learn what the purpose of a labor union is. Well, here you go: To see how this is so, we can take a look at some recent police union activities that have been in the news lately In Rockford Illinois, for example, a police union organized a fundraiser event for two men accused of shooting an unarmed man to death inside of a church daycare center, all within view of several children and daycare workers and one of the prizes the police were raffling off was a police-issue rifle. In Birmingham Alabama, police officers organized a barbecue butts benefit in order to bankroll the defense fees for five people who were caught on video kicking and beating an unconscious man who was just ejected from a car during an accident. Coincidentally, the president of that organization hosting the $30 a butt benefit was disciplined for his role in association with that case. In Chicago Illinois, police officers recently hosted a $50-a-ticket fundraiser amid community protests in order to help to pay the defense costs for an alleged drunk driver facing reckless homicide charges for when he hit a parked car while drunk and caused an explosion that killed two. The suspect had a record of DUI arrests and was apprehended while trying to flee the scene of the accident with a BAC 3x the legal limit. Now, its only fair to mention that the suspects discussed above are police officers and the organizations which hosted or organized these benefits are police unions but should it matter? In cases of criminal behavior, should there be a distinction between police officer and suspect when the individual in question is one and the same? Looks like the unions look after bad cops pretty well. Maybe they should cease and desist that activity. Bad cops are definitely in conflict with your desire that 'innocent' civilians not be persecuted. |

You are exaggerating. How many police stops are made per year? How many result in unarmed civilians being beat up, shot or killed? There seems to be at least one a week that makes the news. 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. I just saw a vid in which a bunch of cops stopped a black teenager and had him on the ground because someone called in a complaint he had his hands in his pockets as he was leaving high school. It was cold and snowing. Other teens gathered around and started shooting videos. The cops backed off and let the kid go. I just saw a video of the Ferguson punk's mother declaring him a good boy. She musta not seen the video of him shopping in the convenience store just before he assaulted the cop. Yup, he was a good boy. I saw a vid of her saying that Wilson went to work that day wanting to kill someone... |

Does anyone seriously believe Wilson was a cop for 18 years, never firing his gun and that was the day he decided he would kill someone? Got someone right here, but I won't mention any names. That is exactly what she was suggesting. |

And if the kid had a gun and starting shooting up the school, you would also find fault with the cops. Maybe the police union should not protect bad eggs. |
I believe what the football players did falls under their first amendment rights of expression. Where I think they are wrong was they did not notify their coach according to sources that they were going to do what they did. Also football is a team sport and I wonder if they have the support of the rest of their teammates or if those on the team who did not partipate in the demonstration did not support what they did.
No matter, it is their right to express themselves as long as that expression violates no laws or harms anyone. |

If you don't fight a policeman, your odds of being killed are very, very, very, very tiny. That's a big clue. The bigger problem, 13% of the population murder as many as the other 87%.
