Umm the man in Minnesota was shot by a latino officer...kinda shoots (no pun intended) that little diddy down - white police shoot black man argument - doesn't it.
I was the first to call on the OT board for the officers arrest in the Gardner case. I also have demanded investigations for all police shootings. A lot of bad things happen in this world. I have been stopped by police in certain areas and asked what I was doing. My brother was beaten up by cops during a traffic stop....... I have not to this day put on a pair of PIG COP socks. What Kapernick is doing is totally misguided and as you can see is very divisive.
More than half the people shot this year by police showed signs of mental illness...are you suggesting that police have preconceptions about people with mental illness?
Maybe they should take the BLACK out of Black Lives Matter and clarify it themselves.
The justice system has ALWAYS had issues and WILL CONTINUE to have issues. I think it's best that we respectfully agree to disagree on this KAP issue.
I stand corrected - it's been a long day. But hey if it furthers my agenda then that's okay.
I have been blessed to have spent time in almost every major city in this country and that time was not spent on golf courses or sightseeing. I have seen the despair and hopelessness and the dead end futures of the people living in horrendous conditions. Thats where the focus needs to be.......not on some misguided asshole that wears Castro shirts and pig cops socks.
Anti-American? You are aware of the subsequent verses of the song and particular history of the composer, right? I get that some people may choose to ignore those facts in favor of some notion of patriotism, but it's fully within his rights to express dissent with some of the more unsavory aspects of our history.
What's he supposed to do....pay for his own public service announcement? Maybe he should just play along and hope everyone gets his point through intuition?
Hahahha, I live in Baltimore, man. Relax Francis. You think by my one post you can tell that I'm bigoted, ignorant, and a racist. Bravo.
Lmao at the outrage in this thread
Interesting take. Could you please point me to the statute that suspends constitutional rights while at work? Must have missed that one.
Yea, it's called corporate policy. Walk in and call your boss an asshole, I mean you're free to say it, no one is going to stop you, amiright?
Pipe down. My response was pretty measured and didn't involve a personal attack. Disagreement doesn't equal outrage, but you obviously don't get that.
There are differences yes, but not a complete suspension either. For instance, it's illegal to hire, fire or otherwise discriminate based on an individual's political beliefs.
Not used to agreeing with you. Too used to your typical snark I guess.
Never knew you were a constitutional lawyer. Show me the statute that suspends the rights of coaches and players that like to kneel and pray. Or the one the suspends the rights of an 8 year old child that wears a shirt with an American flag on it to school.
Nope, not a constitutional lawyer. Where did I say anything about kneeling for prayer or wearing whatever shirt you want? Shewww.
Are you aware that the 8 year old child was sent home for wearing the flag shirt or that coaches and players have been ordered to stop kneeling and praying at sporting events and practices by several schools in this country? Is it fair to say that those people's rights were suspended ?
Yep. I don't give a flying f×ck what you or anyone else wears, thinks, believes, etc. As long as you don't impinge on my rights,.have at it.
