8 year old football players kneel during national anthem before game

@RDN :
I don't recall ever seeing cops marching down streets calling for killing black people. But I have seen footage of Black Lives Matter marchers marching down the street calling out for dead cops. I'm guessing perhaps you haven't seen that, or, in your alternate reality world you have found some justification to ignore it.
I'd say that @Cooolone and @Bob pretty well nailed it in their comments above in this thread.

The only case I can think of where this applies was the Charleston cop. Guess what? That cop is getting what he deserves.
When white people are killed by cops the news barely reports it. And if they did report it they would probably leave out the "unarmed" part. The media has an agenda they are pushing and you are being used to further it.
When was the last time you saw white people or Asian people tearing apart a city when a white person was killed by a cop? I can't remember it happening. Did they tear apart Minneapolis when that unarmed white woman was killed by the black Somali Muslim cop? Nope. Reverse the scenario. Have a devout Christian white male shoot an unarmed black Muslim woman asking for help and sit back and watch the city burn.

I just saw on Fox news a whole team of youngsters along with their coaches kneeling for the Anthem. Disgusting. Parents and coaches should spend a week in Venesuela or North Korea, Iran, China, etc etc. to see what it's really all about

Here's all you need to know about thugs ambushing cops for just doing their jobs....Obama built that.

Until any of you have worn the uniform, walked the beat, patrolled a crime ridden area, have gotten into a physical confrontation, your words are just that. Hollow words from people who have no clue whatsoever and want to come across as knowing all there is to know. Inciting and agitating is all you are doing.

Thank God you came along to set us straight.
Anything outside law enforcement you will not be providing an opinion on?
Sweet.
While I do not share 100% of the views posted by @David D, I do understand much of what he says. It is hard to fully grasp until seen first hand. Not much different than serving in the military

Shame on the parents and the coach for allowing it.
Can you point me to the part of the constitution that excludes people under a certain agree from natural rights?
"Try that in another country and see what happens!"
I thought our point in forming this country was to not be like other countries.
Until you can have an unbiased view on the subject by not having your mind tainted with unfounded emotions because you "were there" your words are just that.
Yay, I can play too!

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a *damn* what you think you are entitled to
It's weird, I actually agree with you about the absolute blank check cops are given nowadays and how they are put on a pedestal and how dumb the excuses are like "JUST DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD, THE LAWR IS THE LAWRRRRR!", but I strongly disagree it has anything to do with race.
Cops treat people like shit all the time, and when we have a miracle and one doesn't we are supposed to sing them high praise. But they do that to all races. In their eyes they are all the same. You are either a cop, or you are a peon.

If my kids team pulled that shit I would jump the fence onto the field and remove him from the team!

44,000 cops in this country, are you one of them. Have you ever walked a mile ( or even a few feet) in an LEO shoes?
Ya, I thought not. Before you condemn the police, you might want to go a mile in their shoe's. Run right out there and confront an angry drunk ~~~ of any race, see how that works out for you. Run right out there and get between an angry wife and husband, or a drug addicted kid and his parents. Run right out there and confront an armed or unarmed burglar.
Then run out there and go to a parents house at 3 am to inform them their child died in a car crash an hour ago.
Run right out there and inform a parent that a black gangbanger killed their child in a drive-by shooting, their kid was just an innocent by-stander
I AM TIRED OF PEOPLE BASHING COPS for doing a very difficult and thankless job.

I'm not bashing all LEOs (cops), just the BAD ONES. I'm really bashing the system. The justice system that refuses to in some cases prosecute, indict or convict cops that have CLEARLY violated an unarmed suspects constitutional rights.
Remember the topic is 8yr olds protesting the lack of justice in the courts regarding blacks and police brutality.

Yeah, as explained above, the "mile in their shoes" nonsense falls flat.
You CHOSE to do a job WITHIN the confines of the law. If you can't, "BECAUSE Y'ALL DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO DO THIS THANKLESS JOB! :'(", then get the hell out of that line of work.
You can either do it as laid out by the law, or you can't. You don't just get to make up what laws and procedures you want to follow that day based on how "dangerous (statistically it's not even close, but w/e) or difficult" your job is.

The point is, 99% of people in law enforcement do the job correctly. "mile in their shoes" DOES NOT fall flat. name another occupation where you have to respond to a violent incident or you have to respond to a car crash that has dead bodies with broken bones. YES, they signed up for this job, but if your human this kind of thing WILL AFFECT YOU.
you can't have 44,000 people in any occupation and not have a couple nuts. All you can hope for is the nuts get weeded out by the very laws that protect you

YOU'RE THE GUY THAT CHANGED THE NARRATIVE. You can always try another country, say Venezuela. Their justice system is soooo much better than ours. Or maybe China, they have a great justice system.
If you don't like the system, become a politician and change it
Firefighter. Military. Paramedic. Literally any citizen on the street. Hell, if you HAVEN'T been in that situation at least once, you're in the minority.
None of those get free passes when they fuck up.
The problem of course being that the "good apples " rarely, if ever, turn in the bad ones. And they don't need too, because we as a country praise even the bad cops, as if you don't, you are labeled a cop hater that simply needs to "walk a mile in their shoes."
I've never been bullied at school, but I still don't need too "walk a mile in Dylan Klebold's shoes" to see that shooting up your school is not an OK response. Ever.
