Don’t Raise Your Hands!

At least not in St. Louis, because that will piss off the cops:

“The St. Louis Police Officers Association has called on the NFL to publicly apologize and discipline the five Rams players who stood with their hands raised before Sunday’s game. … The officers’ association … said it was ‘profoundly disappointed’ with the players, whose gesture it considered ‘tasteless, offensive and inflammatory.'”

If the St. Louis cop union doesn’t like free speech, and it certainly appears they don’t, then I can think of another gesture that might offend them even more. But never mind that. One good insult deserves another, so here’s mine: The cop union’s statement is petty, thin-skinned, selfish, mean-spirited, and demeans every decent cop in America.Roger-Rabbit-icon1 So there.

Update:  An organization representing over 200 black police officers in St. Louis issued a statement in support of the NFL players and repudiating the St. Louis Police Officers Association’s statement.
