If he was paid to be protesting, if he was on the job, then all of the beautiful smiles in the world can't change that. One can spot a troublemaker while wearing a police uniform. You don't have to squirm onto the scene and spy on the people who as he says, have a right to protest.

Too many times we have watched the cop in the crowd start the altercation that brings the law down on the people.

If he was paid to stand in the crowd with his head hung low then he is part of the problem IMO. If he was there on his own time without a wire, then I say fantastic. Yea for him. Either way, I fail to see the humor in it. I wonder how he can.

Sucks to be "uncle tom" and everyone knows it.

I'm sure he's a brother...a brother working against the 99%.
