Four members of the Ann Arbor city council mimicked the NFL protests and took a knee for the recital of the Pledge of Allegiance during Monday’s meeting.
According to Mlive.com, Chip Smith, 5th ward; Chuck Warpehoski, 5th ward; Sumi Kailasapathy, 1st ward; and Jason Frenzel, 1st ward were the four kneelers.
"I can't speak to what is in each person's heart, but for me to 'take a knee' is an act of attention, of concern, and of respect," Councilman Warpehoski explained on his website.
Warpehoski elaborated at the meeting: "And it is in that spirit that I take a knee at tonight's City Council meeting: out of respect for the aspiration that we be a nation 'with liberty and justice for all,' with full attention that we fall short of that ideal in many ways, and with humble dedication to continue to work that the promise of the pledge may be fulfilled."
Councilwoman Kailasapathy said she knelt to demonstrate her commitment to upholding democratic values.

Where is Kid Rock these days?
Alright, let’s disrespect the servicemembers while we are at it.
“And it is in that spirit that I take a knee...”
Buncha pussy white dudes
The fool on this end has his hand over his heart while kneeling. Maybe he is having a heart attack since he is not showing love for his country.
It served its purpose. They are now in the news. Attention whores like that.
Ann Arbor, why am I not surprised?
Monkeys see, monkeys do. Fire their asses.
HAH. Berkley East gets on the bandwagon.
I get a small measure of satisfaction thinking about what must have happened in their homes the night Michigan put President Trump over the top!
The “Ferguson Effect”
Thank God these people are outing themselves. Makes it much easier to know your target when the war starts.
And they think they’ll be exempt! El oh el oh el oh el! Dumb mf’s
You are quite confused, Warpehhoski, we do not hope to achieve the promise of the pledge by disrespecting the pledge.
Useless swine!
Virtue signaling in flashing neon with gold trim.
Not surprised. We conservatives were a rare breed when I was on campus.
Ann Arbor - communist enclave
Yep, attention whore.
Ann Arbor, MI — home of social-Marxist UM and their dope heads, and hatchery for PBS and NPR. A dark stain on Michigan.
