A prominent St. Louis police union official called for a curfew in Ferguson, Mo., after two police officers were shot and wounded early Thursday during a demonstration outside the Ferguson Police Department, saying protesters "want cops dead.".

"Dead cops, dead cops. That's what they want," former Democratic state Rep. Jeff Roorda, of the St. Louis Police Officers Assn., said of Ferguson demonstrators on Fox News on Thursday, as reported by website Mediaite.

"You arrest everyone that doesn't go home," Roorda said. "Let's not pretend like they wanted [police Chief] Tom Jackson's resignation or that they’re mad because Mayor [James] Knowles is there. They want dead cops and that was their goal all along and that was their goal last night.”

Roorda's remarks come as law enforcement and political leaders and local activists decide how to respond after a shooting early Thursday in which witnesses said an unknown gunman on a hill overlooking the Ferguson Police Department opened fire on officers protecting the station.....

“..... that won’t go over big in his political party. “...........

Sometimes the truth is hard to swallow. Blacks have been promoting the death of cops well before anyone even heard of Ferguson, Missouri. Listen to the words of their “rap crap” and you will hear it. They promote it but are too stupid to realize that they themselves have caused much of these racial problems. Dumb ass Street Rats.

The two dead cops in NYC weren’t enough—Many more will have to be sacrificed to appease the liberal gods.

And the idiot Black residents of Ferguson will be the ones left holding the bag as their property values plummet and businesses choose to not locate there.

Plunder and death…the calling cards of criminals/collectivists/socialists/totalitarians. The noblest who wear the uniform to protect and serve the weakest and vulnerable among us are under attack from said criminals and their collectivist (Al, Jessie) enablers and scumbag (Barack, Eric) politicians.

I may have fallen asleep and missed something, but what are they protesting now? Officer Wilson was completely exonerated, both by the grand jury AND the fact that the Justice Department in all its shenannigans, still couldn't trump up a charge against him. To me, this sounds like alll the facts were on the side of Wilson. We've even heard that none of the "hands up, don't shoot" memes were not true.

So I ask again, what are they protesting now?

I think that the resigning police chief got a severance package. (Officer Darren Wilson, of course, didn’t get a dime). I don’t know what else it could be. They’re winning, even though the Michael Brown “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” meme was proven completely false in a report from their own attorney general.

Lets hope that the general's modern day equivalents share his fate.
