St. Louis police officers continue to babysit protesters demonstrating against police brutality, and the protesters keep acting like children.
A city police officer will be disciplined after a protester complained about the name badge on his arm that read “Wilson,” the Saint Louis Post Dispatch reported. The gesture was meant as a show of support for Darren Wilson, the exonerated officer whose actions kicked off the national cops vs community controversy.
About 100 protesters were conducting a “holiday-themed” march to city hall, according to the Post Dispatch, when they noticed the officer’s offense.
It “shows whose side he’s on,” one of the protesters explained. “I clench my fist. I want to attack, like they want to attack us. I know damn well they know Darren Wilson wasn’t attacking in self-defense. Darren Wilson had an option to Mace him. But he got to shoot.”
Chief Sam Dotson said that the officer violated policies and will be disciplined.
