The St. Louis Police Officers Association has issued a scathing letter demanding punishment for perpetuating a lie. But they won’t be getting any satisfaction. Because the NFL won’t be doling out any disciplinary action against a handful of Rams players for essentially condoning the looting and destroying of area businesses, and suggesting Officer Darren Wilson murdered an unarmed man, following the grand jury’s decision not to issue an indictment for the justified shooting of Michael Brown.

In case you missed it, here’s what five Rams players did this past Sunday that’s gotten them in to such boiling water:

You can read the entire SLPOA letter here. In part, it reads:

“All week long, the Rams and the NFL were on the phone with the St. Louis Police Department asking for assurances that the players and the fans would be kept safe from the violent protesters who had rioted, looted, and burned buildings in Ferguson. Our officers have been working 12 hour shifts for over a week, they had days off including Thanksgiving cancelled so that they could defend this community from those on the streets that perpetuate this myth that Michael Brown was executed by a brother police officer and then, as the players and their fans sit safely in their dome under the watchful protection of hundreds of St. Louis’s finest, they take to the turf to call a now-exonerated officer a murderer, that is way out-of-bounds, to put it in football parlance.”

Indeed.

Many St. Louis players reportedly asked for police protection from the chaos that has enveloped the city. And, oh, look, here’s a photo of police and National Guard in front of the Rams stadium doing just that: Guarding the team and the fans from the very “protesters” these five players hat-tipped on Sunday.

Ungrateful hypocrites much?

A Rams spokesman said Sunday that the team was not aware the pre-game protest by wide receivers Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin, Chris Givens and Kenny Britt, and tight end, Jared Cook was planned. *Wink and a nod, we’re not going to apologize*

It may come as a surprise to no one that at least one of these uninformed men has a rap sheet of his own. And, you guessed it, for eluding a police officer and resisting arrest. Sound familiar?

Even Charles Barkley, never one to shy away from controversy, understands that the “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” catchphrase is a bald-faced lie, and that the jury did its job.

Some history-challenged souls have even compared the raised hands of the fact-challenged Rams players with that of Tommie Smith and John Carlos during the 1968 Olympic Games.

The only problem? Whether you agree with their method or not, one was a gesture for racial inequality awareness; the other perpetrates a lie, helping not to further civil rights, but to continue fanning the flames of racial divide from a tragedy that had absolutely zero to do with race.

Not surprisingly, Sunday’s “bone-headed” gesture has not gone over well with at least one St. Louis sports bar, who’s no doubt seen many of its fellow area businesses destroyed by opportunistic looters: It’s banned everything St. Louis Rams from its establishment.

Even MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough went on a lengthy rant about the Rams repeating The Ferguson Lie. And when you’ve lost Morning Joe…well, you get the idea.

“‘I’m sorry, this Ram thing, this was the final straw for me,’ an exasperated Scarborough said. ‘I have sat here quietly and listened to BS being spewed all over this network and all over other networks. I can’t take it anymore…’

You know what pisses me off too is I have people around this set all the time. They let me say what I say on set and they sit and stare at me, slack-jawed,’ he said. ‘They’re afraid to say anything on the air, even though they know it’s BS. People [are] saying one thing when the camera’s on and then saying something completely different when the camera gets turned off, because they’re somehow afraid they’ll be called racist if they tell the truth.'”

So, note to the St. Louis Rams and the NFL: Actions, particularly imbecilic ones, always have consequences, even if you choose not to impose them yourselves.

The Ferguson “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” mantra has always been based in fiction. Those who keep repeating it just look like a bunch of ignorant fools. Imagine if we’d reject the race pimps whose agenda it is to create, and continue agitating, a divided, infighting America, and unite against the true cause of much of the economic and social malaise in our minority communities, and in our nation. Hint: Most of them reside in D.C. and are busy getting ready to print upwards of six million illegal immigrant work permits that will adversely affect the already challenging job market, particularly for many of these very protesters. But look over here at the Shiny Thing. And keep blaming Whitey for your station in life. The puppet masters like it that way.

Officer Wilson was exonerated by a grand jury based on evidence and witness testimony backing Officer Wilson’s self-defense narrative. These five asinine Rams have disrespected those brave men and women and the time and energy they gave arriving at the correct decision, our justice system as a whole, the police who answered the team’s calls for security, and businesses who’ve borne the brunt of the chaos. The Rams, and the NFL, owe the SLPOA, the Ferguson Police Department, Officer Wilson, and America herself a sincere apology, and a heavy dose of humility and generous charitable donations, for their embarrassing ignorance. I won’t, however, be holding my breath waiting for any of that. They’ve shown their true colors. For their mini-protest lives not in reality, but in the emotional, mythical world of the Left, where feeling good matters, but the facts simply don’t.
