As protesters mourned the one-year anniversary of Michael Brown’s death in Missouri over the weekend, a local police union honored the officer who killed him.

Sunday was declared “Darren Wilson Day” by the Columbia Police Officers Association to public outrage and criticism by the city’s mayor and police department.

In a since-deleted post on the union’s Facebook page, the white police officer, who was not charged in the unarmed black teen’s death, was commemorated as “an innocent, but persecuted, officer,” The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

The post reportedly went on to express support for Wilson because he was “thoroughly investigated” and it was found that he “did NOTHING wrong.”

The NY Daily News is a leftwing paper.

It rabidly supported both Bill Clinton and Obama.

I remember how it cried and cried for poor Clinton during his impeachment.

Maybe so but that’ll start more uprisings when we need it to be calmed.

No, the left will “start more uprisings” of its own volition without any provocation.

There is no calming it until who ever is running it (I suspect the White House) decides that they have what they want out of it and throw their tools away.

So let the union say what they want. Especially when it is the truth.

Maybe the Columbia Police Department should hire him and his wife onto the force? I don’t think either is working.

The Truth is always viewed as “insensitive and divisive.” by criminals and the Left.

I would even go one further and have pig roasts just to ridicule the idiots who were dragging a roasted pig around the other day.

A pig roast could become a traditional part of Darren Wilson day festivities.

One of these ‘black lives matter’ cretins was on MSNBC feigning reasonable dialogue and spoke of the ‘murder’ of Michael Brown. How is this not actionable slander?

*No, the left will “start more uprisings” of its own volition without any provocation.”

That sentence contains the letter “C” which is the first letter of the word Confederacy...

...reason enough for the Left to rise up

Or Skidmore. See if the BLM agitators want to show up there and start terrorizing the locals.

“Maybe so but that’ll start more uprisings when we need it to be calmed.”

You have the same perspective as the GOPe. This is exactly the mindset that puts good Americans on the losing footing on every issue; they push, we pull back. If we are going to win the culture war and save our country for decent people then we need to push back and push hard.

"Insensitive & divisive" to stand up for an innocent man who has been vilified by thugs and bullies? The Mayor is a disgrace to everything that Americans once believed in.
