Police Beat, Taser, and Shoot Man 23 Times, Killing Him for Walking Down the Street
Drop his f***** ass, drop his ass!! one officer can be heard saying on the dashcam right before six cops put 23 bullets into a man who was lying on the ground.
Martinsburg, Virginia This week, the family of a Virginia man who was killed by police is filing for an appeal in their lawsuit against the city, which was railroaded out of court last year after the incident occurred.
In the aftermath of this case, it was discovered that police not only shot an innocent man 23 times while he was surrounded by a half dozen officers, but also that those officers attempted to plant evidence, tamper with the crime scene, make false statements and stage a massive cover up for a murder.
On March 13, 2013, Wayne A. Jones was walking down the street, directly next to the sidewalk, on the side of the road. He was approached by a police officer who began to interrogate him about how he was walking.
Jones responded by telling the officer that he was trying to reach a distance. Before he was able to explain what that meant, the officer began getting aggressive with him, and began to ask if he was carrying any weapons or drugs. Knowing that he had a pair of scissors in his pocket, Jones asked the officer, what is a weapon?

Pie-Yow!

The Rams are currently 5-7 and pretty eliminated from the playoffs at this point. So, I wonder if they'd pull this boneheaded stunt if they were leading the NFC West.
Being stupid and racist really does wonders to your bottom line...

Bullshit.
Can we all talk about how thin-skinned the police are in this country?
Do cops think that people WANT to be shot by them?
StL Police Officers Association condemns Rams display

ST. LOUIS The St. Louis Police Officers Association has released a statement condemning the St. Louis Rams football players who entered the field displaying the "hands up don't shoot" pose.

St. Louis, Missouri (November 30, 2014) The St. Louis Police Officers Association is profoundly disappointed with the members of the St. Louis Rams football team who chose to ignore the mountains of evidence released from the St. Louis County Grand Jury this week and engage in a display that police officers around the nation found tasteless, offensive and inflammatory.
Five members of the Rams entered the field today exhibiting the "hands-up-don't-shoot" pose that has been adopted by protestors who accused Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson of murdering Michael Brown. 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.
SLPOA Business Manager Jeff Roorda said, "now that the evidence is in and Officer Wilson's account has been verified by physical and ballistic evidence as well as eye-witness testimony, which led the grand jury to conclude that no probable cause existed that Wilson engaged in any wrongdoing, it is unthinkable that hometown athletes would so publicly perpetuate a narrative that has been disproven over-and-over again."
