Why do you think they would applaud deputies being shot?
Why do you think the Chiefs would applaud the "handful of protestors" taunting police and blocking the ambulances? Do you think the Texans would applaud for the same reason by linking arms with the Chiefs?

A handful of protesters gathered outside the the hospital where the injured deputies were being treated. The protesters tried to provoke deputies stationed outside and at one point were prevented from entering the emergency room, Bishop Juan Carlos Mendez with the Churches in Action group told the TV station KABC.
“Unacceptable behavior. The hospital should be a sanctuary, we should leave hospitals alone,” he said. Mendez and members of his group gathered nearby in prayer for the wounded deputies.

So what's your view of the legitimacy of the Trump Presidency?
Or the legitimacy of any other socio-political matter?
Because whatever that view is, by your own logic it is arbitrary.
Utter fucking nonsense to call someone else's views arbitrary on a message board where people, including you, come to express their views.
When placed on the scales of justice, one side being the protest of an unnecessary military invasion of a country in which untold tens of thousands of lives were lost....
....the other side being a protest of the loss of the lives of a handful of violent criminals, usually on dangerous narcotics and often armed with dangerous weapons with which they could have, in the blink of an eye, taken a cop's life, while those cops were performing their sworn duty to protect the public.
And you cannot decide which protest is more legitimate than the other????
Apparently he posted on the same internet message board as you.
C'MON MAN!!!!
Trump's Presidency is legitimate as a matter of both Constitutional and public record.
It depends. Was the Dred Scott decision legitimate? The Three-Fifths Compromise? As with the Trump Presidency, being legitimate doesn't make it right and forcing what you think is right onto others is always arbitrary.
Everything is not arbitrary as you claim. Here's an experiment for you; arbitrarily decide to fly the step off the roof of your house. Repeat the experiment a 100 times then let me know if your arbitrary decision had an effect on the results.
As for Voltaire's comment, which appears to be more true now than ever: https://idiomation.wordpress.com/201...not-so-common/
So even though Voltaire first wrote this common sense is not so common, he wasn’t the first to express this thought.
Then there's this: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/b...mmon-nor-sense
So-called common sense is a fallacy that has been foisted on us by our culture of ideology (any ideology that wants to tell us what we should think and do) that prefers us to be stupid, ill-informed, and poor decision-makers. Common sense is even used as an ideological cudgel by conservatives in which so-called coastal elites lack sense and, as a result, are out of touch with "real Americans" who apparently have an abundance of common sense. But, if we use our elected representatives as examples (though I can't vouch for how representative they actually are), I think it's safe to say that unsound judgment, that is, the absence of common sense doesn't discriminate based on political ideology.

A lot of tap dancing and side stepping.^^^^
The Dixie Chicks protesting at a concert, the war in Iraq which cost thousands of lives, and protesting the deaths of some criminal thugs whose causes of death have not necessarily been determined or scrutinized in a court of law, are vastly different in terms of legitimate and not legitimate.
Your opinion that they are the same is arbitrary.
Also, posting some obviously politically biased article out of a psychology magazine website is not a convincing argument for your side.
And finally, nothing you said has anything to do with the opinions of millions of people that professional athletes ought to do their protesting off the sports field and keep all the rest of that crap off the field.
Count me among the group who is hoping the fans make the leagues pay dearly for choosing sides in something that they never had any business choosing sides in.

C'MON MAN!!!!
what players need to remember is no one gives a crap what they think about anything other then playing football. those fans got tickets to watch football, drink beer and eat over priced hot dogs and get away from all the retarded political cult members. to have just 4 houres or so of fun. I hope they get it and shut up and nust play football.
The NFL players claim that they want us "to all come together" they say as they promote the American terrorist organization BLM.
Talk about chutzpah!
Note: I watched the Seahawks game today and listened to their spiel.
This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.
Disagreed, but you're the one arguing arbitrary justice.
What the Dixie Chicks did was both their right and their choice. Likewise the reaction of fans. What does this to do with your disagreement with this post?I have no doubt you wish harm on a lot of people just like CFM, Teflon Don and a few others often do.

How does my view of the lack of legitimacy of the BLM football protests equate to causing us to go to war with Spain and Germany setting foot on a path to mechanized genocide?
You argue by tap dancing in fucking circles because you don't seem to have a grasp of what you're talking about.
Silliness.
If my view of the NFL protests is that they are not legit, then that is my view.
If yours is that they are, good for you.
The views of individuals like those of us who post on message boards and the views of governments who have the power to go to war and commit mass genocide are nowhere near being within the same realm.
For you to compare the two is absurd.
C'MON MAN!!!!
