Kneeling during the anthem is a disgrace, and the softest form of protest I've ever seen.

Looting and pillaging local communities will turn public sentiment against the protests. See Nixon. This is counterproductive.

Inner city policing is an incredibly complicated problem. "Why don't they just stop?" is a pretty gross oversimplication.


Ok well, what form of protest is acceptable to you?

Yeah and if there wasn't rioting going on to offset it you would be complaining about that too.

Respectfully kneeling wasn't going anywhere, now was it?

doubtful, and this is from someone who lives in an area that is frequently subject to peaceful protests (marches, other demonstrations etc.)

sadly the peaceful and well-organized protests with mostly locals occur during the day. marches and calls for justice which we all want.
the agitators, arsonists, looters, vandals etc. come out and night and ruin it for everyone

That's not true. The 49ers got a better QB.

black guy shot to death by police and national guard while peacefully protesting. owned a bbq and used to feed cops for free.

all cops involved had their body cameras off.

people defending this are sick.

The irony of people asking those rioting to peacefully protest instead, when they had problems with every way they protested peacefully before, is fucking delicious.
