Colin Kaepernick had the right idea.  And it ended his career.  Fuck everyone who played a hand in that.  And fuck everyone who gave him shit for it.
He is currently calling for violence.  Fuck him.

anyone advocating violence should be considered a piece of crap

in fact it might be considered the same as yelling fire in a crowded theater 

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

It can be illegal, depending on what is said to whom.

Inciting.  I didn't see whatever he said.

Someone needs to explain to me how a couple APCs in a garage somewhere make your average street police officer more aggressive.

Well non-violence cost him his livelihood.  You're not real big into the "why" behind things, are you?

Colin had the right idea, he just went about it the wrong way.

disrespecting the flag and the national anthem is not the right way
The flag is a symbol of freedom and equality

Colin had a podium and a microphone and national audience anytime he wanted one - he chose to do something else

But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be
All right, all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can

But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be
All right, all right, all right

The flag is a symbol of freedom and equality ...in a country that lacks freedom and equality.
Do you really not see this?

https://pics.onsizzle.com/why-cant-they-protest-peacefully-but-not-like-that-cant-27952995.png


there is a lot of truth in this...


A certain portion of the population expects things to remain the same.  So no, no type of protest is okay.  Don't protest, just accept how things are and do the best you can.

Too much "know your role" and far too little "unacceptable realities need to change and change now" on this board.

I do see it.  Everyone sees it.  It's not a secret.

Let's come up with a plan instead of just pissing off other groups of people
throwing rocks at cops isn't going to change anything
taking a knee during the anthem didn't change anything

yes, those stupid acts draw attention to the cause, but that's it

the cause has the attention of the country if not the world at this moment - let's do something constructive

What constructive steps do you see the Republican-led Senate and the current president rolling out? 

Paint us a picture.

Every time these is video of police exceeding their ROEs like this, we have protests, and the protests lead in most cases to riots.  This carries on for some period of time, a week or so in most places, and then life returns to "normal".  You may not like "normal", but I've yet to see any real actions taken to DO anything or CHANGE anything.

The Chiefs of Police will announce some new policies and perhaps install some civilian review board or new training, whatever, and that is that, until it happens again, which it will.

Meet the "new normal", same as the "old normal".

Just with a fig leaf and some flowery prose and blah blah blah.

Let's do something constructive.  Or, really, let's appear to have done something constructive which in reality is burfle.

that's the problem, no one is putting up a constructive plan

if you're going to wait for the President, good luck

don't know why you would wait for him, you think he's horrible

why not ask some other more thoughtful types, you pick the group you feel has the best handle on this
