I could say a lot of things, but I'm just going to say that I don't agree with those remarks whether the officer made them or not.
Everyone in the USA has the 1st Amendment right to express their opinion.
And they shouldn't have to lose their life doing it.

Looting, rioting and attempted murder aren't protected acts.
Murdering citizens for expressing their opinions will get cops locked up.

or at least they should get cops locked up
it amazes me how little value many put on another's life...meh...they acted stupid, put them down...
I certainly made some stupid choices in my youth...luckily for me, I was around solid people who didn't think the solution to stupidity should be a death sentence.
Stop using the bad doings of bad guys to excuse the bad doings of "good" cops. Its getting old as hell.

Mmmmmm, police state. And then the police wonder why they have such bad relations with American citizens.
One day that will catch up with that guy. It always does.
I believe that a lot of us made some stupid choices in our youth, fortunately, as you said, most people didn't and still don't think that the solution to stupidity should be a death sentence. Unfortunately, from what we read on the internet a few people have other ideas.
I agree with this - I also don't think that a police officer should be killed while doing their job, but we all know that sometimes happens and sometimes it's because they gave the guy acting stupidly the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, from what we read on the internet a few people couldn't care less.

Looting, rioting and attempted murder aren't protected acts.
Yes it will. But out of 1401 police officers in St. Louis, ONE makes some stupid comments on social media and it gets covered in the press. Where's the stories of the hundreds of officers that give to the community through hours of volunteer work sponsoring charities and programs for troubled youth? Geesh how about a little perspective.One day that will catch up with that guy. It always does.
. Not sure why this one deserves a thread.

I would say that the vast majority of Americans don't see having "bad relations" with local law enforcement.
This is going to back fire on the Democrat Party. With the "Politico" reporting that Al Sharpton is now part of the Obama White House and Al Sharpton is going to lead an anti cop rally in NYC today, the Democrats are going back to the 70's where liberals were viewed as being soft on crime, anti cop and pro criminal.
There are people of all races and careers who say stupid things. Not sure why this one deserves a thread.
Because it has been calculated to help further an agenda.
Both your statements may be true - however stupid people in this case, a stupid cop making a stupid comment furthers that agenda and puts a spotlight on it. A cop who has this opinion has no business being a cop. Yes, those breaking the law, looting, throwing molotov's, shooting at police should be arrested and the book thrown at them to the fullest extent of the law. They do NOT deserve to be put down like rabid dogs because they are not rabid dogs.
We put way too much emphasis on emotive responses to real life which gets everyone in more trouble and simply incites yet more emotive responses, leaving a vicious circle of violence that leads to nothing positive and no way to heal and move on. "Stupid is as stupid does" really does apply here.
Any cop who doesn't do his job the way that it should be done needs to pay a price for that failure to perform.
If you can't do the job, find something else to do.
Pretty frickin' simple actually.
Some people were just never born to be cops.
Yes it will. But out of 1401 police officers in St. Louis, ONE makes some stupid comments on social media and it gets covered in the press. Where's the stories of the hundreds of officers that give to the community through hours of volunteer work sponsoring charities and programs for troubled youth? Geesh how about a little perspective.
