When the home team, the St. Louis Rams, came onto the field in yesterday’s game against the Oakland Raiders a few of the players raised their hands. It is the symbol of the protesters in Ferguson against Officer Wilson who was forced to shoot Michael Brown.
The players said they wanted to do something, yet there is a report they did not want to take a side. The hands up shows a clear support of one side, and something which the local police department did not take to kindly to.

So, the players took a side, and the police didn’t like what the gesture implied. Both sides got to express their freedom of speech. that’s how things should work. No property damage involved. And no, no one deserves an apology for taking the action or allowing it to occur.
