Phil Schmidt, the businessman and owner of Schmidt’s Welding and Machine Shop in Farmer City, Illinois, told The News-Gazette of Champaign that he posted the sign out of disgust with behavior of “peaceful protesters” marking the anniversary in Ferguson.
And with Brown’s behavior before he was shot to death in a confrontation with a cop.
“It is what it is — all these people in Ferguson going crazy over a guy that broke the law three times that day, tried to kill a cop, tried to get his gun, it’s crazy,” Schmidt said in an interview with the News-Gazette last week.
“What they’re doing to cops makes me sick.”
The sign was up only two days – Schmidt pulled it down on Wednesday – but it still got plenty of attention.
