On Sunday, Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin, Chris Givens and Kenny Britt and tight end Jared Cook, members of the St. Louis Rams, took to the field Sunday with the “Hands up, don’t shoot” gesture that has come to symbolize the Ferguson protests.
The show of solidarity angered The St. Louis Police Officers Association – not the actual St. Louis police department, a group designed to protect the interest of police in Missouri – The group issued a statement asking the NFL to punish the players.
Do you see the thinly veiled threat included in those last lines. Disgusting!
Following the game, KSDK spoke with Bailey, Cook and Britt.
