Joueurs des Rams et police de St-Louis: un "hands up" controversé

Pendant leur match de dimanche des joueurs des Rams de St-Louis ont affiché leur sympathie pour les manifestants de Ferguson en utilisant le symbolique "hands up don't shoot". Des policiers de la ville se sont indignés de cette démonstration et demandent à la NFL de s'excuser.

 ""The gesture has become synonymous with assertions that Michael Brown was innocent of any wrongdoing and attempting to surrender peacefully when Wilson, according to some now-discredited witnesses, gunned him down in cold blood," the police association wrote. The statement quoted the association's business manager, Jeff Roorda, as saying that "it is unthinkable that homegrown athletes would so publicly perpetuate a narrative that has been disproven over and over again."

"I'd remind the NFL and their players that it is not the violent thugs burning down buildings that buy their advertisers' products. It's cops and the good people of St. Louis and other NFL towns that do."
