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?
