If any one of us sees this injustice from police, I have full confidence the members here would do something about it. The football player is not militia and is not a vet, he didn't join BLM movement, he didn't go protest and riot, he merely sat and by using his influence, he got the attention drawn to where it belonged.
Agreed. I think it's a little amusing to see so many people who oppose government tyranny criticize Kaepernick for refusing to honor the flag symbolizing the very government they oppose.
It's also interesting to see all those Christians criticizing Kaepernick. If Jesus were around today, do you think he would be standing to honor a flag?
To be sure, Kaepernick could have chosen some other way to get his point across. But none of them would have drawn the attention that this is getting. And if you're going to protest something, you want attention.
Onward and upward,
