My boss is a dyed in the wool republican.   We have a semi-retired salesman who is a racist and he said he won't talk to him for a couple weeks why the protests are going on. 

I mentioned this topic to him to get his response.  I prefaced it by saying that it wasn't found to be true that that is what was said (Hands up don't shoot) and he said he assumed people were saying it to show the current officers that they are there peacefully and to try and keep things from escalating whether it had really happened in the first place or not.

Just remember as a side note the police are there ostensibly to keep people from getting hurt or doing damage but instead or using force to enforce rules before either of those things happen in a lot of cases.  That makes the police look like the aggressors and that doesn't help anyone.
