It was one link, kind of national story but certainly attacking the messenger deadens the message. Scared?, of what? Spin? on what, a bunch of people saying stupid things? Not disgusted but it seems kind of in bad taste.

the national story is the the blacklivesmatter movement, this nonsense, is spin. akin to only referring to protestors as rioters.

let me ask you, is it in poor taste when the moment a young black man is killed by police and the killing is made public - the hunt is on for any internet trail that could possible link the dead black man to rap, to gangs, to thuggary?

of course it's in poor taste to speak trivially of anyone's life when they're dead. cop or not.

It happens everywhere... It goes with the first amendment: stupid people have the right to pronounce their ailment in public.

Those people Chanting "Pigs in a blanket, fry em like bacon!" don'y look like young conservatives to me. I could be wrong. Really good PR though, right after the deputy got gunned down in Texas. Should be a national slogan with tee shirts, bumper stickers, coffee cups etc.

Black Lives Matter Chant Called ‘Disgusting’ By Police Leader

ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) — Traffic disruptions and loud messages aren’t the only things memorable about Saturday’s Black Lives Matter march to the gates of the Minnesota State Fair.

One of the chants heard from protesters is being called “disgusting” by rank and file St. Paul Police officers. Police Federation President Dave Titus says the threatening refrain is divisive, dangerous and won’t lead to improved police relations.

By many accounts, Saturday’s march was a peaceful gathering. Although it was intended to disrupt leisure to deliver the group’s message of justice for those killed at the hands of police.

“We weren’t surprised it was peaceful, but we were glad everything worked out right,” March organizer Rashad Turner said.

But along the way, protesters broke into a pointed refrain that has St. Paul police officers upset.

Marchers chanted in unison, “Pigs in a blanket, fry ’em like bacon.”

What officers and many others find offensive is also protected free speech. But in this particular case what is ironic is that those voicing the chant were also being protected by very officers targeted.

“Statements and chants like that are just ignorant – I find it absolutely disgusting,” Officer Titus said.

Titus called the protester’s chant both dangerous and outrageous. All the more so Titus says, because it came just hours after a Texas deputy was gunned down in cold blood.

"...I don't know if they'd have received it differently if we had said maybe on a stick or something..."

Pigs in a blanket 'on a stick', fry 'em like bacon...yep less threatening but not as catchy.

I would think you, of all people LIB, would be grateful for the protections afforded by free speech;)
