St. Louis Rams players speak out:
Several St. Louis Rams players sent a silent but strong message before they took the field Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.
The players raised their palms in the air, repeating the "hands up, don't shoot" gesture that protesters in Ferguson have been using for months.
But the move infuriated the St. Louis Police Officers Association, which issued a statement saying it was "profoundly disappointed" with the group of Rams "who chose to ignore the mountains of evidence released from the St. Louis County Grand Jury this week."
"The gesture has become synonymous with assertions that Michael Brown was innocent of any wrongdoing and attempting to surrender peacefully when Wilson, according to some now-discredited witnesses, gunned him down in cold blood," the police association wrote.
Jeff Fisher, the Rams' coach, told reporters Monday that the players would not be disciplined.
God I hate pro football

QUOTE St. Louis bar boycotts Rams after players support Ferguson protestsA local St. Louis bar’s announcement that it would no longer support the Rams following the silent protest of several players on Sunday has gained national attention. The post was made on Facebook Monday morning and has been liked almost 40,000 times, generating over 6,500 comments. QUOTE This Facebook post is no longer available. It may have been removed or the privacy settings of the post may have changed. The bar followed up their first statement by announcing their allegiance to the Kansas City Chiefs, and noted that happy hour will continue whenever there are Chiefs games. QUOTE This Facebook post is no longer available. It may have been removed or the privacy settings of the post may have changed. Hours after the first post was made, the bar further clarified their position on the Rams protest.
Anyway, you get the point.

This Time OUT Sports Bar & Grill in St. Louis, Missouri is now a target and will close down eventually because of fears by regular customers..
This case in Ferguson, Missouri is good example of how fed up black folk are in this Republican controlled state.. Brown was just the POS that gave good reason for them to raise hell because of the racial injustice they have dealt with for hundreds of years..

Don't pay him any attention. He's just experiencing white guilt because of the slaves his ancestors never owned.

Everyone keeps talking about what Officer Wilson should have done differently that day, but no one wants to say what Michael Brown should have done differently that day.
It makes me sad to see how far back we have fallen in race relations since that April day in 1968 when we lost Dr. King. We had almost reached the sumit of the mountain that kept us out of the "Promised Land" that Dr. King envisioned. Now the freedom train is rolling downhill backwards to a time when the races couldn't get along, and instead of trying to stop it or get off you have people like the "Reverand" Sharpton that a trying to push it downhill faster! Im sure Dr. King is looking down from heaven and weeping at the plight of the black community today.
