Police Protest Beyonce Concert in Houston

published 9 May 2016

Members of the Coalition of Police and Sheriffs, or C.O.P.S. for short (clever!), protested outside Beyoncé's Houston concert Sunday, even though Beyoncé herself said in her Elle cover story that "anyone who perceives my message as anti-police is completely mistaken."

This might come as a surprise to C.O.P.S. member Tony Ragsdale, who said to KHOU11, "Some of her performances we believe to be anti-police."

The group also shone a blue light toward NRG Stadium and held up posters of Captain America, who, while principled and pure of heart, technically operates outside the law.
