I think Capt. Ron Johnson is a coughkappacough.

Just saw a picture of him on HuffPo posing with a protestor who (I guess) is a Kappa. They were both throwing the K's hand sign.

...despite all that, I still like how dude's handled his business so far.

I read that the photo is circulating as "proof" that Capt. Johnson is a gangster just like all the other Black people: "See! He's throwing up gang signs with the other hoodlums!"

Morons.

Here is an article about it. I'm so outdone with this. Guilty until proven innocent...SMH http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/m...-just-a-kappa/

I shouldn't be surprised...I saw people saying Black people were throwing gang signs when they were throwing peace signs.

I thought I read that it was initially erronously reported by CNN or some CNN blog site. Simple-mindedness will, I guess, be found among some segments of people. I would think CNN would know better, to at least research it.

One of my best friends is KAY, and we text all the time. He texts me: "Now that I know throwing up Nupie is a form of civil disobedience I'm doing it all day today."

a second text: "Don't shoot. (He's) a Nupe."

Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. This should serve as a glaring example why people shouldn't jump to conclusions and go ape shit over false and misleading internet posts or "news" that can't be substantiated.

LOL! CNN is notorious for putting out erroneous reports just so they can break the news first.

It rained like crazy last night and there was a lot of lightning. Protests were small and peaceful.

The focus may be moving to Clayton (and the main St. Louis County courthouse), where the grand jury is sitting.
