Black St. Louis police group supports Rams, rips other police group
CBS Sports ^ | December 3, 2014 | John Breech

The Rams may not have the support of the St. Louis Police Officer's Association, but the team does have the support of at least one police group in St. Louis.

The Ethical Society of Police -- which represents African American cops in St. Louis -- released a statement this week saying that it commends the Rams for the Ferguson gesture they did before the team's Week 13 game against the Raiders.

Jared Cook, Kenny Britt, Stedman Bailey, Chris Givens and Tavon Austin all did the "Hands-up-don't-shoot" pose as they entered the field before the Rams' 52-0 win over the Raiders.

Make the whole St. Louis police force black.

I totally agree. Let only blacks go into these crime infested hoods to deal with them. If I were a white officer I would not go. Go ahead and segregate the police forces and see how it turns out.

That “culture” to a person, is convinced that sticking together will eventually win them the unlimited privileges they seek.

Seems like we’re quickly heading back to a segregated America - this time demanded by the blacks themselves.

White fans should boycott the Rams games; maybe that would send a message. But, unfortunately, they won’t.

So people that should know better allow the color of skin to trump right and wrong. Okay......... The pose was stupid as it had no bearing on the incident.

Well, one could certainly think that this group of police officers are not very professional, if they agree with the hands up, don’t shoot; a political narrative; which is all based on a lie. What does that say. If I were a Rams fan, I would be very disappointed in their judgment to come out to make such a statement as don’t shoot, I surrender.

“....the team does have the support of at least one police group in St. Louis.”....

Indeed these are the “affirmative action” cops St. Louis was forced to hire.

Folks need to realize that black people hate them, and that includes black policemen.

Just because a black person puts on a police uniform, it does not make them suddenly immune to their pre-existing biases and hatreds.

One of these centuries they may get around to reviewing Black on Black crime.

That will never happen. How do you think they became slaves? It was through criminal acts from other tribes of Blacks [kidnapping, murders of parents, raiding weaker villages, purchasing of kidnapped individuals, and like actions]. They were held in stockades at the shoreline and the slave ships tied up to the docks, the captain of the slave ship went ashore bargained and traded with the Chief for the slaves he desired. Last but not least, for the obama worshiping Blacks, Obama's ancestors were the slave catchers. Which means that Obama's ancestors caught your ancestors and sold them into slavery.

That will be one tough fact for them to acknowledge won’t it.

It will. And another one they do not want to face up to is that the African Blacks do not want them there. They say that they are lazy among other things.
