Protest Happening In Support Of Officer Who Shot Brown

[CatWoman]

:large

reminds me of a Free Republic rally

minus the porto potties

[JI7]

1. probably his relatives

[AgingAmerican]

23. Yeah

Or family members of other cops. I'm sure a few FOX news zombies are mix in as well.

[cui bono]

47. And when it airs on Fox we'll see palm trees in the background. n/t

[Cha]

2. "Blessed are the Peacemakers"?! That wouldn't be the FPD. :(

[Live and Learn]

13. +1 What peace did they create? nt

[Cha]

18. It's their typical Orwellian speak. :(

[Historic NY]

48. But they drove them, Peacekeeper armoured vehicles....

[BlueCaliDem]

3. My! What a crowd! NOT. eom

[malaise]

4. Since when does a peacemaker kill

an unarmed man?

The stupid burns.

[GP6971]

10. Depends on

Whose peace they're protecting.....Wilson was defending his peace.

Forgot to mention this sarcasm

[MohRokTah]

17. This is what they consider to be a peacemaker:

The Colt Single Action Army pistol was known as a "peacemaker" during the late 19th century:

[BillZBubb]

5. They must have left their sheets at home... nt.

[Boom Sound 416]

16. Or maybe they lost a family member who is a cop

Who can say?

[Cal Carpenter]

21. And that would have what to do with supporting the cop

who killed Brown?

If that's their reason for having a 'rally' in support of this particular cop in this particular situation, their logic escapes me.

Seems like you are stretching at something but I'm not clear what that may be.

[Boom Sound 416]

34. Not meant so literal.

[Cal Carpenter]

38. So please, elaborate,

what were you getting at?

[CatWoman]

26. if you were at the Apollo

they'd reel you in with the giant cane

[Cal Carpenter]

29. ...

I LOLed.

[CatWoman]

32. ....

[Boom Sound 416]

33. But you're with the KKK call out. Fine.

[CatWoman]

36. yes I am

scroll down

[dhill926]

6. boy, that's damaged DNA right there….

[conservaphobe]

7. They left their white hoods at home, it seems. nt

[whathehell]

8. Idiots.

[NYC_SKP]

9. Wha? Is that Daniel Tosh and his mom?

[arcane1]

11. That has to win an award for most poorly laid-out sign.

[stranger81]

12. I will simply observe, as Steve King did, that all of these

folks seem to be of one particular "continental origin." I wonder why that is.

[Rex]

14. Does his family even know they are making a pro-UN comment?

[madashelltoo]

15. No. Really, what is this?

[CatWoman]

20. it's legit

got it from the live blog here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/17/michael-brown-rally_n_5686149.html#liveblog

[TheKentuckian]

19. Klu Klux Klan Ladies and Youth Auxiliary made it to the set I see.

[napkinz]

22. yep ...

[lolly]

27. If this really isn't all about race--

Then the family/spokespeople for Wilson should publicly denounce and refuse any assistance from the Klan.

[nomorenomore08]

39. And of course they had to throw in the half-hearted sieg heil...

[Tree-Hugger]

24. I'm not a Biblical expert, but...

I doubt this is what Jesus was thinking when he uttered those words.

[Takket]

25. your holding a sign that says "blessed are the peacemakers"

in support of someone who SHOT AND KILLED someone? Do these idiots have any capability of putting 1 and 1 together?

[CatWoman]

28. oh, cut some slack

at least he spelled "peacemakers" correctly

[nomorenomore08]

40. I guess they're really, really scared of large black men. So to them, a more peaceful world

is one with fewer of "those people" in it.

[Hoyt]

30. Bull. There's more to be found out about this tragedy, but Wilson ain''t clean.

Neither is the police department. These folks need to go home and fondle their gunz.

[jillan]

31. Shouldn't that sign say Blessed are the Executioners?

[ohnoyoudidnt]

35. FOX News reports 10,000 people were there.

[janlyn]

37. What does the sign in the background say??

Do the right wing bat shit crazy dance??

[d_r]

41. wait, where are the cops in riot gear?

wear is that lrad cannon? Where is the tear gas and rubber bullets?

you mean people have a right to peaceful assembly?

Here are some more pics from twitter, all the men look like cops to me.
:large

[lunasun]

54. Shouldn't cops be surrounding them for you know their own safety??

I do not understand if they want peace where are the militarized police ??

[EvolveOrConvolve]

42. My what a diverse crowd it is...

And using scripture to defend the killing of an unarmed man? Fucking despicable.

[Iggo]

44. Peace is Murder.

Murder is Peace.

[lunasun]

55. + double plus good

[Iggo]

43. Where's all the black people?

[Logical]

45. All cops family members I assume! nt

[SwankyXomb]

46. At this point I'm not sure there even is an "Officer Darren Wilson"

Until such time as he or someone approximating the guy in the picture shows up on live TV, even if it's FAUX News, I'm going to treat him as if he was the "NOT ME" gremlin from Family Circus.

"Who dinged up the new interceptor?"
"Darren Wilson"

"Who took the last donut again?"
"Darren Wilson"

"Who murdered that black kid over by Canfield?"
"Darren Wilson"

[CatWoman]

51. thank you

I was about to cross reference that thread.

[Owl]

50. Are the Monk's nearby?

[cheapdate]

52. I'm no theologian, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't what Jesus of Nazareth meant. n/t

[Inkfreak]

53. I have the same pair of shorts that kid is wearing. (nt)

[Oilwellian]

56. Cat, thought you would find this interesting...

[erpowers]

57. What If He Were Black?

I wonder if these people would be protesting in favor of the cop if he were black. In addition, would they be protesting, in favor of of the cop, if the cop were black and the young man he had shot was white?

[logosoco]

58. Peacemakers?

Someone who has authority and gets so angry at two young men for jaywalking and ends up killing one of them,while putting anyone nearby in danger.

THAT is not a peacemaker.
