Rams "Hands Up" Disgraceful

Post by JLA »

I just can't believe the Ferguson crap keeps going on and on. So now the St. Louis Rams had five or so players come out during intros with their "hands up" "in support of Ferguson" at yesterday's game in St. Louis. What a bunch of two faced blank-a-d-blanks . This is the same organization that requested additional protection from the police for Sunday's game from the protestors. Support Ferguson, just not at my house!

What a slap in the face for the Ferguson Police Department and all law enforcement across the nation. Why weren't they wearing the "Don't attack police officers, don't get shot" shirts? If you are going to support Ferguson, support the one's that keep you safe, not the one's that cause the trouble. Role models like these idiots need to stay out of politics when representing their team. They are telling kids that it is ok to do drugs, rob local businesses, attack police officers that are doing their jobs, and when they ignore the police and are hurt or killed, it is the cops fault. X( X( X(

It is getting to the point that I don't want to watch, read, or hear about any news anywhere. When will the insanity stop? :(

I believe the big picture is not ferguson,it is the corruption and brutality that is going on nation wide. Ferguson just happened to be the straw that broke the camels back..cleveland,beaver creek,and salt lake city will have similar turnouts..im not gonna bash law enforcement...there are bad apples in all buisinesses. We can argue everyday about who started what...but all in all too many kids and adults are being killed..enough is enough.Yea,maybe the rams are doing this cause its a black and white issue..do your homework and look at the white hood influence of the local police...take a look at DW's history as a cop...its easy to see why people down there are doing what they are..they are sick and tired of being treated like $h!t. They are standing up for themselves.

Nebrios do you not agree that the officer might have been defending himself are you saying in this case the grand jury was wrong ? I respectfully disagree

My point is the Rams requested more police protection, and the five players disrespected those same police officers asked to protect their sorry a$$es.

E,we are at the classic castle defense situation...a dead man cant speak. With that said based on dw's story it was self defense although the kid appeared to have been shot while running away.

As for the jury...lets start with the prosecutor having his press conference and discrediting witnesses befor it started...hows that happen.so yes, i believe it was botched. Even the NBA had a problem with the case.

Bottom line the kid was a thug and robbing a store. The protesters are evern worse any excuse to destroy and riot. No problem with a peaceful protest but this is crazy and being fanned by sharpton and the excuse we call the leader of our country, leading it down the tubes.

The latest trend with some of the overpaid professional ball players is to wear "I can't breathe" on various items of clothing. It is being done by football as well as basketball players. X( X(

Maybe we should stop paying taxes and stop watching professional ball. We would "shut it down" on several checks real quick.. lol

E, I would love nothing more to rebel against those teams who pulled the stunts, but can you imagine how many jobs would be lost if everyone protested the NFL or NBA? I'm just thinking of how many jobs would be lost just for those who make the buns & hotdogs... start stringing it all together and it would be devastating.
