Professors at an upstate New York university will “take a knee” tomorrow in a show of solidarity with protesters across the country.

“Scores of Cornell faculty members” will get down on one knee on the school’s Arts Quad on Wednesday in order to “bring awareness to issues including police violence against black Americans,” according to The Cornell Daily Sun. The organizers of the event “hope [they] will be joined by students and members of the Ithaca community.”

The issue is, what exactly are they kneeling about in the first place? This whole thing goes back to Ferguson and the whole “hands up, don’t shoot” fabrication. These people are propagandizing as many American people as they can into believing the narrative that cops are deliberately and indiscriminately shooting down innocent young black men all over the country, which is utter nonsense.

This weekend dramatically exposed the NFL’s support for BLM and to show they’re not going to stand for a flag that represented such injustice. Make it be known the NFL supports cop killers of BLM and the violent thugs of ANTIFA who are also connected to BLM.

This would be like the NFL in the 60s/70s supporting black panthers or weather underground or something like that.

The NFL is now supporting or in unity with two groups who are just as violent and radical.

Why?

“bring awareness to issues including police violence against black Americans,”

So we get back to origins ... this "take a knee" BS is really all about supporting the cop-killers called BLM (Black Liars and Murderers).

This ‘movement’ has turned silly.

It is as ridiculous as the ‘Hands Up, Don’t Shoot’ which was nothing but fake news.

It will run its course, but not before many more take a stand and get their pix in the news taking a knee.

... in order to “bring awareness to issues including police violence against black Americans,”


There are no “issues” without clarity.
You can’t protest “I think there might be bad stuff, unfair stuff, let’s get attention for, like, stuff that happens, I think. Ya know??”

Someone, call these kneelers on it. They don’t even know why they are kneeling in protest.

Inconvenient fact: very few black men, including armed suspects acting suspiciously, are killed or injured by police.

Inconvenient fact: Most people, in huge %age, who ARE victims of police brutality are NOT AFRICAN AMERICAN.

Inconvenient fact: Black men commit violent crimes at a much higher rate than white, Asian, or Indian men. This affects their treatment by cops. Behavior matters.

“When can we expect knee-ins to spring up all over the USA?

Unfortunately, I think it is already starting. More ball players, of course, did it. Sheila Jackson kneeled in Congress, some actors kneeled, some Chicago police offices kneeled, and a college student at the University of Michigan kneeled for 20 hours! Sounds like we will have to watch this ad nauseum until the next fad kicks in.

Turn it into prayer kneeling, and the media will end it.

And last I knew, Tompkins County, where Ithaca is located, has the highest rate of STDa in NYS. Nice place.

If they play the National Anthem during this event, it might be the first time it was played at Cornell in 40 years.

President Trump has lifted the rock and the bugs are scurrying about.

They do their evil hidden from from view, now they are being exposed as to what they really are, traitors within the wall.

This is getting insanely stupid. These professors should have an IQ high enough to know better.
