I'm glad the Rams players did what they did. Mike Brown was a thug, but the FPD is an all white police force and has had other issues in the past. They are bullies that got beat up in high school. We all know how some cops are. Power tripped bastards.
NoCo in STL isn't a good area. It's known for shady characters all around, but there are good people there too. But not very many on the FPD. Sorry.
And now the response the cops gave in regards to this incident, just made them look like the bullies they are.
I don't live anywhere close to St. Louis, so I'll take your word that FPD is trash, and I believe that there are good people there (probably including some of our fellow posters) I just wish we could look past race, because at the end of the day this really isn't a race issue. And when our players do that (hands up, don't shoot) I hope they showing support of victims of police brutality (which doesn't mean all cops are bad - they are here to protect us) and not just Mike Brown/African Americans/this one thing. Its okay to support things, but can we please stop pretending that this is the only issue of this kind that has ever happened. Cops have guns for a reason, and its not to look pretty. I feel sorry for the families of the victim and the officer because in an ideal world, no-one gets shoot, but its not an ideal world.
