St. Louis police officers condemned the NFL's Rams today, calling their pre-game display of the "hands up don't shoot" gesture to be "tasteless, offensive and inflammatory." The lengthy statement issued by the St. Louis Police Officers Association demanded Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin, Jared Cook, Chris Givens, and Kenny Britt be punished for the act:

Used to pull for the Rams, but now screw them. LA or wherever can have them back, with good riddance!!
Not that I disagree with them on this, but why is it they can never come out so hard against their own bad apples? The cop who slapped a guy for refusing a voluntary search, the cops in the Dorner hunt, Harless of Canton OH, the cop in the NYC stairwell shooting gets defended instead of condemned, on and on. Crickets.
Yup. I pray and hope they lose all their games. The Sam homo circus made me wanna puke too.
..the "freedom of speech" done by these arses insulted, demeaned, and belittled the difficult work of the police..
..it has made their job harder...and it has made their job more dangerous.
..as it has done to ordinary citizens like the poor guy in St.Louis who was beat to death by black animals with hammers....
who knows...perhaps the black animals were inspired by the black football players mocking the cops...
Your “hmmm” was “clickable” and it took me to this site: AT&T NEW IPHONE ZERO DOWN COMMERCIAL.
Is this a badly-written satire site?
black panthers, black bears, some rattlesnakes, some fawns, some wolves, the black red fox, Eastern Blue Tongue Lizards, seals, some squirrels
You wouldn't be speaking about black PEOPLE as animals, now would you? Souls can be BLACK with sin.
To be fair, they were playing the Raiders. I could see asking not to be shot whenever you’re playing Oakland...
Not so much funny as too true.
In big-city departments many of these sports events are staffed by volunteers, for overtime. They’re popular and officers with seniority take them because they are easy, and you get to see some of the game.
St. Louis PD needs to show some solidarity. Nobody volunteer for this event.
No police coverage for, really, the entire city during the event.
It’s a lot of ways to say zero
They’re thugs. What do you expect?
It's not the government that's making the complaint, it's the cops,as individuals making the complaint.
The cops should have just ignored it.
Now the next time they have to use deadly force or when they get sued they will be accused of already determining in advance that such speech is deserving of punishment.
Any professional should know better than to act like that.
The appropriate thing IMO would be for the NFL to tell the players that this activity will result in fines and/ or suspensions.
That way the government stays out of it, and the appropriate authority handles it.
alot = a lot
Words mean things, but alot isn’t a word! Allot is, mind you...
Look it up!
Grammar and spelling police mode OFF. For now...
You fordot:
You’ve got to be kidding me,
Hahahahahaha,
Get stuffed,
Yeah, right,
WHO?
etc...
