Check out the BPPA Twitter to see Boston's scumbag of the week at the BLM protest. The skank in the middle with the cardboard sign that says "Shoot The Cops". Very nice.

Stupid thing to write, but ...

If you and the folks at the BPPA would blow up the photo just a tad, as I'm sure they did, you'd notice one of the O's is the lens of a camera, i.e., the person is advocating using a camera to take photos of police. I will leave it to you to wonder why somebody might advocate training cameras on police. Here, in case you don't have ready access to Photoshop:

She did that to give herself

She did that to give herself plausible deniability. She knew exactly what she was doing. It's not even a dog whistle it is so blatant.

Adam, regardless of attempting to make a pun, putting a sign together like this days after five police officers were shot and killed and there have been numerous other attacks on police in the following days shows no tact. I was down there, and I also observed a number of younger white men and women wearing stop snitching shirts. I also saw them walk away from Dudley after the march was over. This sends a horrible message, to 'support' the Roxbury neighborhood with that message, where the community and police need to work together to help fight crime. Maybe if they stuck around longer than a cup of coffee to really help out it might open their eyes to the true reality of today's world.

If you can't argue civilly, yeah, I won't approve your post. If your post is the kind of thing that might lead to a fistfight if you said it in person, try again.
