Two St. Louis disc jockeys suspended
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Two hip-hop radio personalities have been suspended for an on-air discussion of ways to fight police officers — comments made not long after an officer was slain.
Officials at KATZ-FM would not detail the comments, but said the remarks made on Wednesday related to ways to hurt or disarm police officers.

The two suspended disc jockeys, whose professional names are DJ Kaos and DJ Sylli Asz, were discussing with callers on their morning show how to fight for an officer's radio so he or she cannot call for help, the station said.

Lee Clear, general manager of the station, apologized for the comments, calling them "entirely inappropriate."

The radio personalities, whose real names were not immediately available, also apologized.

Clear noted that the station's owner, Clear Channel Communications, had just used its stations to ask the public for information to help find the killer of Sgt. William McEntee, who was fatally shot July 5 in the St. Louis suburb of Kirkwood. A suspect has been arrested.

"We just buried an officer last week," St. Louis Police Chief Joe Mokwa said. "Nobody wants to hear some comic remark about disarming a police officer and taking their radio away so they can't get help. That was outrageous."

I'm constantly amazed by people's inability to understand what is in bad taste.

This is just fucking disgusting. Mocking people, no matter how tasteless, is one thing. Giving how-to guides on how to kill someone is another. I hope they never get back on the air.

Was Liddy suspended from his radio gig when he told people to shoot ATF agents in the head, where they aren't armored?

He should've been, if he wasn't.

The #2 7/15/05 Idiot (s) of the Day.

The #1 Idiot of the Day was some rapper who really worked as a baggage claim inspector doing raps about not checking bags and letting stuff go through.

had an office not just been slain, would there be any sort of issue?

I mean, if Howard Stern did this on his show, people would be talking about how funny he is.

i don't see why these guys are suspended for on air comments, whie some shit that Howard Stern says is able to get a pass and considered 'humor'
