What should my sign say?
OK, I am going to this, do I go with a sign, and/or do I go and act like a media person? And, assuming I am media, what questions should I be asking folks.
NOTHING good will come of this visit. And the dude that got beat by the cops deserved it.
A police report said witnesses saw Johnson’s brother try to kick in the door of an abandoned building near their home and officers who responded went to arrest him for breaking and entering. Police say Johnson and others protested the arrest, and that when an officer tried to arrest Johnson he resisted, squaring up as if to strike the officer and breaking the officer’s grip when he was nearly handcuffed.
Piland, who was off duty and lived in the neighborhood, showed up in plain clothes and tried to help the other officers, the chief said. He smacked Johnson in the face with his open hand and used his knee to apply pain when the teen fell to the ground until a third officer interceded, he said…

STFU works every time. So does “Obey the Law”. Yet again, the PD reacts to a bad situation by taking the word of the “victim”, who’s, in reality, the suspect. And his friends.
Of course, after the Owebowma/Holder Department of Get Out of Jail Free and the Black Panthers, I’m sure that the kid’s friends and “spiritual advisors” want the Feds involved. Hey, the kid will probably end up with an Escalade, and the City will buy it.
It depends on what your purpose is. If you just want to piss people off make a sign like, “White men for Police Brutality.” On the other hand, if you want to accomplish some good, I would sugest blogger as journalist and ask people why they are there and what they think bringing Al “I never met a Microphone I didn’t Like” Sharpton to Indy will accomplish.
How about a sign along the lines of:
“Why doesn’t Al show up when a dumb “white boy” gets “beat” by the po-leece?”
How about “WARNING: Resisting Arrest Can Be Hazardous To Your Health” on the front, and “You have the right to remain STUPID” on the back?
Memo to “yutes”: When Mister Policeman pulls out nightsticks, pepper spray, or tasers, accompanied with blue gloves, YOU WILL LOSE. It’s not a question of IF. Or to quote Ron White, “I didn’t know how many of them it was gonna take to kick my ass, but I knew how many of them they were gonna USE.”
