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.

Well, I think you should probably figure that a high
percentage of
those unarmed citizens are guilty of breaking some law, then
when the
police try to arrest them the fight. You can be sure the police
kill in
self defense a very low percentage of those that fight, and then
of that
low percentage a tiny percentage might have been killed and it was
wrong. 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%. That 13% is the black population, if you could fix that...

Interesting that in other modern nations like England, Germany,
Japan,
et cetera, the police there hardly ever kill anyone.

They don't have the inner city problems we have to deal with.

Johnny Herring the racist has a new "code phrase": inner city
problems.

Charles Barkley agrees with John.
I suppose Sir Charles is a racist too.

As far as I know, there's no law against ignorant assholes agreeing with
each other.

You and Donny come immediately to mind.

An excellent point.
