Police brutality? These NFL folks have a national spotlight once a week for sixteen weeks, and they're protesting police brutality?
Not to say there is absolutely *no* police brutality. But is it endemic? A pandemic? Are more US citizens (read: minorities, because that is what this is really all about anyway) affected by police brutality than by crime, poverty, drug abuse, failing public schools?
If they take a knee for any of the *real* scourges in our society, then maybe I'll give them a pass (pun!). But police brutality? You've got to be kidding!
Just for example, how many thousands of minorities have been gunned down in Chicago by black-on-black crime in recent years? Yet Rahm Emanuel and the ruling Democrats get a pass (pun!).
Police brutality? I'd dare say the minority citizens in Chicago would just love for some police brutality on the gang-banger thugs that scourge the Chicago streets.
All of which is to say, this is not really about police brutality. That is what they want *you* to think, so that you'll be supportive. Those *in the know* know that it is about something completely different.
Why don’t you take that up with NFL? My post was about Constitution and Flag/Anthem...and I have nothing more to say2
agree
I am a VETERAN, A PATRIOT, AND I agree w most of FR. I only corrected a lie and received the brunt of most angry FRs, who never stop and think before speaking...
As Conservatives we should respect Constitution, and FLAG/ANTHEM. Protesting isn’t real issue... but is protected in our Constitution I explained what really happened, as NEWS MEDIA was saying Cowboys did it during Anthem, FAKE NEWS! And it was meant to make people go crazy and fight about it!
Even the title of this article is wrong, they did not do it during ANTHEM! Truth should be important instead of going around condemning people who agree with you on subject!
