The U.S. Justice Department asked the Ferguson, Missouri, Police Department on Friday to order its officers not to wear bracelets in support of the white policeman who shot to death an unarmed black teenager last month, sparking protests.

In a letter to Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson, the Justice Department said residents had told its investigators that officers policing protest sites on Tuesday in Ferguson were seen wearing "I am Darren Wilson" bracelets.

Dear Eric,
You have no such authority and we will continue wearing the bracelets.
Signed,
Not your slave.

Welcome to the USSA, comrades!
A few comments:
1) The DOJ should mind it’s own business
2) The bracelets are clearly inflammatory to the Ferguson public and it’s agitating supporters
3) It’s clear the police feel like they are unfairly under siege.
4) (2) and (3) together are an explosive mix, and don’t bode well for the near future. The police are pissed, justifiably so IMHO, which makes them nasty police. The natives are restless in a tribal way. Conflict ahead, or at least it’s going to take quite a while for a return to whatever passes for normalcy there.
How does the Department of Obstruction of Justice have any say-so in the matter?
Hope the Cops tell the black racist bastards in the “Justice” Department to go #%&+ themselves!!!
Only when masses of decent Americans start showing where they stand to these Marxist Monsters in Washington will this crap stop.
The DO”J” demands the LEO (who survived
the DO”J”-inspired Fast&Furious,
and the DO”J”-created race wars,
and the DO”J”-ignored beheadings)
ONLY protect Moslems and felons.
The DO”J” has nothing to do with justice or Law.
Who cares if it inflames the natives?
THAT DID IT! WHERE CAN I GET A BRACELET?
(Sorry for the caps. I’m livid.)
Wear 2 or more. Just to piss these marxists off more.
F U B O !!
Why is it that the Community Relations Service seems to be interested in only a small portion of the community (the rabble)? A few hundred people at most are maintaining riot mode — out of a population of 40,000. Isn’t it obvious that the CRS is keeping the fires stoked while trying to provoke the Ferguson PD into reacting, so they can replace the Chief and officers with “Democrats”? (And motivate the Muslim/ Mao-Mao base in November).
Calling the Democrat Goon Enforcement Unit by the name ‘U.S. Justice Department’ is disgusting.
The term “Justice’ needs to be stripped until Holder and his extremist communist filth are gone.
Left out of your narrative: the restless gangbangers need outside agitators to be bussed in. The police have local support.
Keep with the bracelets and let’s see the law abiding locals begin to wear them too.
Last I checked, Washington DC doesn’t set dress code policy for local police departments.
They ought to start getting tattoos with that phrase.
It would be a kind of survey. Unfortunately, the votes are counted by headline grabbing violence.. so I’m not sure it’s a fair vote.
