Ferguson : Police Wearing "I am Darren Wilson" Bracelets - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Code3Response;46102219]This is stupid. Super stupid. Apparently you cant show support for your coworker. Not to mention a Ferguson police officer was shot this past week too[/QUOTE] There's a difference between showing support and trying to upset someone and attempting to provoke them to act irrationally, which is what this whole post is about because I'm not sure what these officers are trying to do. [editline]29th September 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Tamschi;46095169]I think that's exactly the problem, the whole thing is incredibly muddy. For all I know Michael Brown could be a cop killer if things played out slightly differently (because from what I've heard Wilson was injured somewhat badly in the incident). It's ridiculously unbelievable how much some people flip their shit over stuff they don't know hard facts of.[/QUOTE] Exactly, people flip out easily, which is why idk if this bracelet thing is a good idea or not.

Thats like saying the victim of rape was asking for it because their clothing provoked the attacker. Law enforcement is more than just a career. Its a family. If I want to show support for another officer, I will.

[/QUOTE] lmfao. Wearing a bracelet is not "trying to upset someone and attempting to provoke them irrationally". They're wearing a small bracelet in support of one of their friends; they're not spray painting "Kill all niggers" on the side of their squad cars ffs.

People are allowed to protest and literally set a city on fire over Michael Brown, and these guys are just wearing bracelets. The people bitching about a group of officers wearing bracelets need to get their brains screwed back in, because the cops are just vouching their support for a colleague who is currently getting shit tossed at him, and while this is all going on may I add, the entire city they work for is being set on fire by a bunch of barbarians from around the country.

Wilson is getting shit tossed at him? A kid is fucking dead thanks to him he should be in prison the dude got off fucking light as hell. And you called the protestors barbarians damn man Im trying to give u the doubt that you actually do not hate black people but it really sounds like u do

Thats ok, continue to be mad, but please read this post about what really happens when an officer shoots someone: [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtectAndServe/comments/1s01lr/most_common_myth/cdslvma[/url] You also need to know the difference between criminal court and tort court and how that plays into an officers job.
