They're protesting the cop from Somalia who shot the white woman? Eh, probably not.

A “take a knee” rally protesting police violence is planned for Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium ahead of the Vikings playoff game against the New Orleans Saints.
The group Take A Knee Nation Twin Cities says the demonstration will be in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. On Facebook, the group said that if he were alive today, the civil rights leader would be protesting police violence.
The Sunday demonstration is planned for 2:30 p.m. outside the downtown Minneapolis stadium. It’s slated to go for about an hour, up until the game starts at 3:40 p.m.
Over the course of the NFL season, there’s been other pre-game demonstrations at U.S.Bank Stadium where dozens knelt against police violence, specifically in regards to the deaths of Jamar Clark, Philando Castile and Justine Damond.
The kneeling protest was first popularized by NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who took a knee during the national anthem to highlight concerns over police shootings and racism in the U.S.
Take A Knee Nation Twin Cities says that over the Super Bowl weekend the group plans to host a conference on race and police violence in Minneapolis.
Players take a knee, fans take a hike.
Read the article.
Not the players.
Yes, they certainly can!
Although, in this particular instance, what this person yelled reflects my thoughts on President Trump’s comment perfectly.
I got a better idea for a protest. How about you lie on your stomach, arms stretched straight out with your palms up and your legs spread?
but besides....I won't be watching any of it...
Yo, kneelers, while you’re down there, why don’t you make yourselves useful and throw up a prayer for the police officers who have to face your violent, drug-crazed brethren on a daily basis?
They're protesting the cop from Somalia who shot the white woman? Eh, probably not.
That’s what happens when you bring in cops from Shithole countries.
And many a FReeper will be there to root on their favorite Cop Killer Loving, America Hating, Woman Beating Thug. If you can stand against the little wrongs why should I trust you to stand against the big ones?
There’s a football next week? Gee, I didn’t get any notice about it. Guess not watching any football this season could be a reason why I’m getting things done at home.
Thank God I get the Botchiball Channel. It keeps me riveted to my seat.
If the weather is bad, will those on their knees be singing “Blowing In the Wind”? /sarc, I think
as soon long as the wind ain’t blowin
Yep - and "in honor" of MLK Jr..... an't make this crap up...
great saying there ButThreeLeftsDo, I think i may borrow it from ya.
thanks.
While bocciball is pretty good, there’s nothing like CURLING for fast-paced, gripping action!
Hurry! Hurry HARD!
‘Should be a good time’
apparently the safety for the ‘Aints decided to kind of kneel while play was going on, and whiffed like a little girl on the last play of the game, snatching ignominious defeat from almost ironclad jaws of victory...
