Yeah I miss the good old days, when police could kill people and it wasn’t recorded, so we had only their impeccable word to know for sure what happened. Now there’s so much garbage online, some people no longer take the police at their word!

#TerrenceCrutcher - shot dead for having a stalled out car.

You and Gmart seem to be having a conversation where words are used, but nothing is being said. I can vaguely see that...you are Ok with it, but don’t like it...and the media...something? Also...social media?

Yes, it’s Kaepernick’s right not to stand and pay homage to the USA. Why should we care one way or the other? What I’d like to know is why everyone is so gung-ho with this “forced patriotism” all the time? Sure, it would be nice if everyone was happy with America all the time. But due to wars, taxes, authoritarian…

As narratives go, “please stop shooting people I identify with” is a pretty straightforward one.

Wish you wouldn’t generalize about “most NFL stars.” I have it on good authority that Matt Forte recently enjoyed a delicious chicken caesar wrap at Jersey Mike’s.

They aren’t stupid...they just don’t want to talk about the real issue that Kap, Marshall, and others are protesting...hence the need to protest in the 1st place. So they make it about something completely different to confuse those of us that are idiots and try to discredit Kap and Marshall and turn them into some…

Eh, I'm sure when the big moment comes the Seahawks will probably pass.

Given the explicit thoughtful statements of Doug Baldwin in the Seattle Times (linked, and partially excerpted by Barry Petchesky), your comment seems unnecessarily dismissive.

Yeah, these fucking hypocrites & scumbags choosing to exemplify the American right to free speech for the rest of the world to see. For shame!

I mean, it’s not like that basic right to self-expression w/o fear of government persecution is first & foremost in some document literally called The Bill of Rights. That’s not…
