Labor Organizer Calls for Cops to ‘Suffer’ in Ferguson
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | August 21, 2014 | Staff

A prominent Philadelphia union official said that police officers should “suffer” in the wake of the Ferguson riots.

Stewart Acuff, organizing director of the National Union of Hospital and Healthcare Employees local 1199, says police should “suffer” in order to win justice for Mike Brown, the 18-year-old unarmed man shot dead in a small Missouri city.

In addition to his current local organizing role, Acuff is a former organizing director for the AFL-CIO, according to the Labor Union Report.

Acuff’s call for suffering are at odds with the pacifist poetry he writes on his personal website.

“But the creatures of the shadows / Hunt, forage, do their business / Mama coon from the ancient sheared off maple / And her kits are stealing outside dog and cat food,” he writes. “War begets war, violence begets violence, hatred begets hatred…God is Love.”

Hilarious.

I guess "healthcare" unions care about as much for healthcare and teachers unions care about education.

As I remember Ronald Reagan often saying:

The unions are out of touch with the rank-and-file

Just a bunch of far leftists out for themselves at the expense of honest law abiding workers

What a POS he is.

Oh, I’m sure they are suffering all right.

Suffering that the place they work for hates them. Suffering that many of the citizens they are hired to protect are scum. Suffering that outsiders have come into their workplace and have (bleeped) up all over town with rioting and looting. Suffering that their Governor has questioned their very fine abilities. And suffering that their very lives have been poured into a community that now represents the very worst of Mike Brown, Ben Crump, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder and B. Hussein Obama.

Screw that. I would walk off the job - regain my dignity and self respect - and never look back.

Leave Ferguson to the New Black Pampers.

And how does one make cops “suffer” without negatively impacting their ability to carry out the essential police functions they’re tasked with?

I hope, if he is ever in need of the police or other first responders, that he finds his cellphone battery dead.

He sucks as a poet, too.

Oh, now it’s what THEY did. Not only have they branded Wilson, but they are calling every cop in Ferguson bad. I I swear, the entirety of the black “activists” IQ isn’t above 12.

The cops are pawns who should suffer for what they did.

If the cops are merely pawns - what purpose would it serve for them to suffer?
