While the facts of the Ferguson, Missouri police shooting of an unarmed man are in still question and riots are still going on, liberals and conservatives alike have been opining on the events.
While the current AFL-CIO boss, Richard Trumka, released a relatively bengign statement last week, former AFL-CIO Organizing Director Stewart Acuff, who has always been loud-spoken, took to Twitter this week to voice his disdain for the police.
The cops are pawns who should suffer for what they did. #TrayvonMartin #MikeBrown #EricGarner #inequality

Acuff, while he was AFL-CIO Organizing Director, helped run the unions’ “Close the NLRB for Rennovations” campaign during the latter years of the Bush Administration.
