Justice Department Tells Ferguson Police To Stop Wearing Bracelets

[ninja007]

What first amendment?

Who said you have a First Amendment right on your employer's time?

an officer is ALWAYS on duty.

Anybody got a "I don't care what you say Holder" bracelet?

What first amendment?

not while their on the job. on the job they need to show impartiality

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

This is the equivalent of if people had been buying Casey Anthony wrist bands before her trial had begun. Absurd.

Yeah....all those minorities went to the riot/loot fest and all they got was the lousy t-shirt.....that and of course everything they could steal.

You're pathetic.....

I have no problem if the employer, the Fergusson Police Dept, tells the officers they can't wear, them. I don't have a problem if the DOJ asks them not too, but this is pretty much an order.
The article says the DOJ has "asked" Fergusson to "order" the officers not to wear them. That sounds a bit stronger than just a simple request.

I can see how the bracelets could enflame the rioters even more, but I don't blame the cops for wanting to show solidarity with their coworker. They know directly what they have to go through on a daily basis in a pit like this.

after everything that happened you trust the ferguson police department to make good decisions?

You mean everything after the justified shooting and truthful reports of the perp's actions prior to that shooting, followed by the protection of persons and property against looters and rioters?

you really think they handled that well?

Better than Holder, the looters and rioters.

You wouldn't say that if they wanted to wear Obama buttons.

what did holder do wrong?

no, i would. you can construct whatever strawman you want for me, but it doesn't change that the police shouldn't be showing support for either side while in uniform. in that community especially they need to give the appearance of impartiality.

Better than Holder, the looters and rioters.

what did holder do wrong?

Stuck his nose in an ongoing criminal investigation, accused police of racial injustice without proof, created a biased atmosphere.

he announced an investigation. he didn't accuse anyone of anything.

 

[saveliberty]

His actions with the family and going to Ferguson to begin with were intimidation tactics.

Boy will these people feel really fucking stupid if Wilson is found guilty.

And what will YOU say if he's found not guilty? The jury was bought off?

well actions like these leave the possibility open that the police weren't entirely unbiased in their investigation.

does that make sense to you?

 

[TheOldSchool]

What is there to say? Just another unarmed youth murdered by gun violence. A statistic nobody in this country gives a shit about.

One less mouth on welfare.

since we all know that the entire federal bureaucracy can only deal with one issue at a time you completely have a point.

if the police department was smart they'd listen. removing the bracelets is good advice.

and i almost hate to ask, but what would you have the federal government do to prevent workplace knife violence?
