    One thing is evident:  Our President is an Artist at selecting and pushing buttons when he needs a distraction.
    A Con's gotta know his marks.

    Meanwhile,  Walter Scott is still dead.

    Disgusting display of undue lethal violence.  The officer and any officer  involved  with this or the cover-up  should have faced  harsh penalty. I can't imagine anybody disagreeing with this.  But not all LEO are like this. Feel free on listing the names of police involved shootings against unarmed people of color. I don't think you'll find anybody that wants to justify the violence. I certainly don't. It's a whole different story if the suspect is armed or considered armed regardless of their ethnicity.

    That particular murderer did plead guilty to charges likely to result in a long prison stay.  And yet, Mr. Scott's gone.  Forever.

    To aid you, I'll explain that I've mentioned victims to remind The Forgetful of the reason for Kaepernick's [and others'] sitting/kneeling in protest.  

    Nothing to do with Our Anthem, Our Flag, or Our Military. 
    Nor is it a blanket indictment of all LEOs.  Or even most.

    "Everyone"?

    Perhaps Kaepernick and the other NFL kneelers should've petitioned you and me for pre-approval of their "delivery".
    That's the problem with protesters - They're so rude !!!

    Not the case if you approach the subject willingly.

    Just wondering how many folks are boycotting country music because that country singer knelt at the Titans game. 
    Didn't listen to her before so....
    https://youtu.be/1_Z5l2wpVE4



    That guy is misguided. It is not and has not been a protest against the anthem. It is a protest against police brutality against blacks and racial oppression. 

    You fool.  When you protest during the anthem, it becomes about the flag and the anthem. You fool.  Pull your head out of your arse.  BTW, I watched Braveheart last night, so I'm using the word arse a ton today.  As in, not only are you a fool, but you are also an arse.

    Kaepernick only became a **** after hooking up with his radical Muslim talentless hoe bag girlfriend.

  • Both were debunked........not sure about the first one, the second one was photoshopped.  There are pics and video of each of those events with his hand on his heart as the anthem is playing.

    I won't be watching.  I don't recall ever missing Ravens v Steelers, but I won't watch Sunday.

    Up to the minute...28,362 have signed an online petition to remove the Ray Lewis statue from Ravens Stadium.
    45.5 thousand.

  • I asked this in the other thread but I'll ask it here: when did kneeling become a show of disrespect?
    I have done well to stay out of these political debates, but damn, this has to be one of the most ignorant questions I've ever heard asked on this forum. You truly live in your own little world.

    Here's a pro tip. Turn on the TV at 1:02pm EDT Sunday and watch football. Worked great for me last week. No anthems, no BS commentary about politics or football. No cheesy pregame show skits. Just plain ol' football.
