Good morning Lizardem!

I know this was mentioned in the previous thread, but I just saw it, and, WOW, is the STLPOA full of shit or what?

Roorda warned, “I know that there are those that will say that these players are simply exercising their First Amendment rights. Well I’ve got news for people who think that way, cops have first amendment rights too, and we plan to exercise ours. I’d remind the NFL and their players that it is not the violent thugs burning down buildings that buy their advertiser’s products. It’s cops and the good people of St. Louis and other NFL towns that do. Somebody needs to throw a flag on this play. If it’s not the NFL and the Rams, then it’ll be cops and their supporters.”

(emphasis added)
St. Louis Cops Declare Rams’ “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” To Be “Offensive”

As a commenter mentioned at Deadspin, if the cops stuck to the first amendment rights, instead of moving on to the 2nd, maybe there wouldn’t be a problem. Hmmmm.
