No more Kneeling for NFL

[Legion]

It's not your decision.

It's each individual's decision. The players can kneel, and the owners can get fined.

Can you show me examples of Topsy's alleged "bigoted, racist, hateful" statements?

Thanks.

I just asked the very same thing, as a matter of fact

Another half-assed guess that he's a troll.

No, we know "cool" from Amazon days...She, btw...

How sad that you seemingly have no idea how our system of government works.

Here's how it works: Some people become aware that there's an issue (Kap kneels in front of the cameras because he wants changes in the way police interact with the community). The media reports on it. People see and hear the protest. People take notice.

Are you keeping up so far?

Then, if people agree that there is an issue, they seek ways to correct it.

To be effective, those corrective measures would need to be political, since in our society, elected officials draft legislation and have oversight powers regarding governmental functions, like policing.

If existing laws are being enforced unfairly, the elected representative of the community can make improvements through administrative changes. If a unit of the police acts in a manner the elected officials find unacceptable, they take disciplinary action.

Am I going too fast?

If no existing laws are deemed effective enough, new ones are drafted, debated and put to a vote. If enacted, those laws become part of the framework of our society and the process begins again.

Got it?

Replace police brutality with guns and you totally explained the gun issue some are having.

I asked if it was just a Right or Left issue? Making it political means just the Right or just the Left want reform of some kind, want to take action, while the other side doesn't see a problem and wants everyone to stop protesting and sit down and shut up. Is wanting police to be held accountable every time they take extreme measures just a Left issue? Why wouldn't the Right want that too? Why does anyone have to protest making cops accountable for their actions to begin with? This should be a bipartisan issue. Essentially non political because everyone agrees there is a problem and here's how to fix it. No need to vote in your chosen politician who will be on your side and fight for your issues. Everyone should be on the same side on an issue like police brutality.

Aren't you the one who said don't tell ya what to do or something along those lines?

Fuck off.

Perhaps if you would read instead of spouting your liberal crap you might learn something.

I do read. That's how I know about the conservative generalizations about liberals. As demonstrated on this very thread.

I didn't say that...so please...some examples...

Nah. Everyone can read for themselves.

That isn't a valid comparison, as far as I can see. Police brutality is an action and is always wrong (if proven).

Guns are inanimate objects whose ownership is a Constitutional right.

The board takes note that not a single conservative will address this comment of trump's: "You have to stand proudly for the National Anthem or you shouldn't be playing. You shouldn't be there. Maybe you shouldn't be in the country," Trump said."

Can't read what I can't see.

Have you got any evidence, or not?

I already addressed that. Consult your file.
