A St. Louis police officers' group called on the NFL to punish five Rams players who stood with their hands raised before trotting onto the field for pregame introductions Sunday.

Hey, just don't provide security for the games. Let the players pay for private security.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Hands up don't shoot as a Michael Brown chant is totally corrupt and dishonest.
But don't let that get in the way of a good community agitation.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

"Corrupt and dishonest" is all they have.

If they were telling the truth, their chant would be "Don't rob, don't loot. Don't hit the po-lice, and he won't shoot."*

Mike Brown established himself as a threat once he strong-armed the clerk in a robbery.  Attacking a police officer and trying to take his weapon didn't do him any favors.  The outcome is unfortunate but entirely justified.

Those Rams players should have concentrated more on playing the game and earning the big bucks they're paid than making their uninformed political statements. The Rams were one of the worse teams this year. Perhaps they could have been smart enough to be just a bit worse so they could have first round draft pic. The Bucs in the Tampa area at least should get a good potential player for next year. Both teams are seriously bad. And those Rams players with that hands up thing are really stupid.
