"Rant warning.
The rhetoric used by the St. Louis Police condemning the "hands-up, don't shoot" pose that several St. Louis Rams players assumed while walking onto the field demonstrates conclusively that the police are 100% delusional about the state of their own community. Since when does "protecting this community" include dispersing peaceful protesters and ignoring looters? The only reason the Oath Keepers have a noticeable presence in Ferguson is because the police aren't doing their job.
Blah blah blah "...defend this community from those on the streets that perpetuate this myth that Michael Brown was executed by a brother police officer..." OOOOHHHHHHH! You don't like for people to think a certain thing so you're out to silence them while claiming that perpetuation of that idea is itself "dangerous" and that infringing on people's constitutional rights is somehow "protecting" anyone. I get it. "We just want to burn all of the books we don't like. What's so wrong with that?" I would recommend that Fahrenheit 451 be put on the required reading list for every police academy but I doubt they'd even understand that the firemen are the bad guys.
Rant over."
