Colin Kaepernick protests anthem due to treatment of minorities

the socks...

Colin's hatred of police needs to be called out

 

Literally none of that is true, but go ahead and get it out of your system.

 

Why? Who cares. This is the biggest hyped non-story of the year.

The great thing about America is you have the freedom to not worship the god damn national anthem.

 

When will Kap and other BLM activists going to address the other issues in the black community that does not include police brutality

Police might stop working because a guy is sitting, America everyone

 

Good for them. **** Kaepernick

 

Yeah great to see your tax dollars hard at work

 

The socialists in this thread are showing their face. The Cops get paid to do their job, with our tax money. Saying you can't show up because of that is unacceptable and would not be tolerated on any other job

 

Their job isn't being a security guard at an NFL game. The 49ers can hire security if they want to keep a backup QB that is anti-cop and anti-America.

 

You are less upset that the NFL accepts money to pander to veterans than a NFL franchise respecting its player's 1st amendment rights.

****ing disgusting piece of **** you are.

For the life of me, I have no clue why you aren't a die hard Trump supporter. You are the jingoist high school graduate white nationalist that Trump loves pandering to. Your rhetoric aligns with his so perfectly. Amazing that you for some odd reason hate him. He's the perfect fit for you.

 

That's not their duty under the Constitution, dip****.

 

I think the missing link here is collective bargaining and unions. Those mofos do mass sick-outs all the time, and not just for stuff regarding pay. Also I think I want to clarify if this is an assigned patrol or just some kind of contracted arrangement, that may otherwise be handled with private security.

 

Explain what is "Anti-America" about what he is doing?

 

I can't be the only one thinking this...

 

The whole point is to show disrespect to the country because he's upset that sometimes criminals get shot when they attack cops.

Anyway, it's his right to be an ass, but it's also right for there to be consequences for his choices.

I see no reason why cops should provide free security for a private event if those holding the event are employing people who are actively and publicly disrespecting cops and the country as a whole.

 

Any offers are petty enough to have that mindset so I can see it happening.

 

Some fair points.

Though I dont see how that shows he is "ANTI-America". He didnt say he is opposed to the country like some Taliban member. His actions dont indicate Death to USA. He is against actions of police and against injustice toward minorities.

Its quite possible to be upset at the conditions of the country without sh**t ing on the entire country. When you go after a SYSTEM run by the STATE, its gonna be pretty broad.

(I do think he's kinda misguided. The socks are VERY immature and damages his stance. And its possible he's being petulant as an effect of his lessened status on the team)

Though saying he's against police who use self defense against ACTUAL attackers is a complete stretch. Even the most hardcore police supporters and critics of BLM claiming they dont know the stats know the protests are about deaths of unarmed/innocent victims

 

No it wouldnt.

Though to be FAIR, its tough to be motivated to put your life at risk to protect an institution or someone telling you "You Suck You Crooked Rotten Pigs" (by way insulting sockwear)

If they arent under obligation to secure the venue, something we assume but dont know, they have the right to not provide their services. And to use THEIR OWN 1st Amendment rights to protest the protest to defend their image

 

When you say that the country "oppresses people" then you are being anti-America. It's worse that his claims are essentially baseless.

Sure, but that's not what he's doing and that's not what his words say.

I don't think it's a stretch though, the most recent case, the one he's likely reacting to, is a case where a black cop shot an armed black man in Milwaukee....Colin Kaepernick's hometown.

The problem with the BLM people is that they never seem to be protesting actual victims, they are merely making victims of criminals. At least that's been the history so far.

 

Anybody who is reasonably intelligent and unbiased can see that America oppresses minorities. If you ask the majority of white people in 1950 they'd deny it as well. A lot of those people are still alive and have taught their children to think the same way. That's why we have idiots today still in denial.
