Cue the white supremacist VICTIMOLOGY and the “code for ni@@er” thug blathering.

Mr Comments…that means YOU.

Perhaps if the police worried less about what other people say about them, and more about who they shoot at, people wouldn’t be saying those things about them.

Thank you for noticing that Mr. Comments is an asshole.

Virtually every party genuinely & centrally involved in this situation wants to move on in a positive & constructive direction. Let feelings be expressed - but then turn the frustrations into seeking to improve the situation.

The St. Louis Police Association ends up looking like a jerk (with an ego problem) in a bar argument … who can’t just shut up…

SLPA to the public:

You have no right to disagree with our version of the truth.

Hey! SLPA? Did you f^cking idiots learn nothing during the whitewashing of this killing?
Just STFU already. You got your 290lbs of flesh.
But still not good enough-- eh?

I thought the hands up statement was great from the five players. However, sometimes the religious antics by some players, like after a touchdown, is pretty offensive.

Oh oh – this is really gonna piss off the Klansmen in the Saint Louis Police Officer’s Association.

It’s a freedom of speech thing, cops. Something you probably don’t understand. You’re only happy when you’re shooting or arresting people.

I* don’t follow football, but this makes me sit back and take notice of my team. Here’s to hoping that they keep it up " 'till a change comes".

Hooray!

I hope Roorda is feeling the sting of this subtle but unmistakable rebuke.

But…But, you do have freedom of speech - just so long as you agree with me.
