Then protest what you are upset about, don't protest against the men and women that have died for you.

That's not what they are protesting.

She owes our service men and women an apology, that much I know. Someday we will get back to a time where people don't hate this country and everything it stands for. This country continues to get preyed upon by the left and exploited for political gain.

Are you saying she hates this country? You are only upset because she protesting and you do not agree with her. I could make the argument that you hate this country because you do not want people to express freedom when you don't agree with their opinions.

I'm not sure how you associate non-violent protest with hatred of the USA. Can you please explain yourself? Are you saying when people protest they are automatically hating this country? Hate to break it to you, but people have been protesting since the 1770s. You have some sort of false romanticized vision of USA history. It's kind of like my uncle who doesn't like gay people. He's pretty much convinced no one was gay prior to 1960.

I just want to know this. Is this support of what Kappernick believes or support of Kappernick.

2 different things. And really, a lot more that the police and race.

And Kappernick said "America was never great."

Not when civil rights laws were passed, voting, slavery abolished, gay marriage, black president. None of those things made America great I guess.

You want to think America has a police and race issue, go ahead. It does, to an extent. But you can twist stats any way you want for disproportional results. But there are many factors, many of which people turn their head at and you now get called racist for saying. It's called reality. When does it end? When zero black men are killed in a day? Month? Year? When do we start to ask why are homicides and crime at an all time rate in Chicago? Social injustice and segregation I guess.

And it seems the new cry is insanity. 1/4 black men shot have psychiatic issues. The drugs they are on aren't a cause, just the by product. Read about the 4 muggers Napoleon Harris warded off. Barely made the news. They had their DNA, that of person killed. Shockingly. one of the suspects went back to GA and was smart enough to check themselves into a mental hospital. Charlotte, he was mentally unstable. Really. Most people not listening to the police are, although according to MASS supreme court you dont have to obey the police and can run from police now if you fear being targeted. And the Charlotte guy, no gun (had an illegal) was great guy , even thought he beat the crap out of his wife, who was there and had a restraining order, and their kid.

There is always a cause, always an injustice. It is a matter of how you go about it and finding the root. Understanding that many behind these causes are in it for financial gain or political gain. And media you can be assured, right or left, will show edited versions to fit the narrative.

I agree that for black Americans, America was never great. There has been a lot of progress, but never great. When slavery was abolished, the south still kept many of the blacks as slaves. And racism has been built into many of the economic, social, and judicial systems in the US. They continue to have racism within the state judicial systems. If you don't believe it, just read some of the book 'Just Mercy' by Bryan Stephenson. It's one of the books my son was recommended to read for college summer reading, so I decided to read it. Was absolutely incredible the amount of prejudice still remaining in the southern state judicial systems in the 21st century.
Kapernick isn't doing this for his own benefit, since he already made a lot of money and he knows he's more privileged than 99% of all Americans. He's not doing this because he hates America, the military, or the police. But he sees a problem that remains and a lot of people are still suffering from racism and social injustice. So he decided to use this non-violent action to bring awareness to an issue he still believes exists in our society.

Think about what this did for him. All this did was bring a lot of negative attention toward him. It would be a hell of a lot easier if he just stayed quiet and stood for the anthem and kept receiving his paycheck. This doesn't do anything for him. He probably hasn't experienced the hardships he is protesting (at least since he became an NFL player). It's not like it would help him with his future NFL career. I don't know if his protests will help anything and if it's the right way to protest, but it has brought more people talking and discussing the issues than if he didn't do anything. Unfortunately, it takes famous people to bring attention to some of the social issues of the day. Muhammed Ali was hated for his actions and he was later thought of as a hero for his protests. Martin Luther King was hated. While serving in the military, Jackie Robinson was arrested for refusing to move to the back of a segregated bus. In 1973, he said he had issues with the national anthem because he didn't feel he was accepted as an equal man.
I do think the people who are kneeling are courageous. It isn't easy being the center of attention and having people hate and even threaten you for your protests. I don't know if I would do it.

The sad thing I see is that Dems/liberals have stirred up racial unrest and have tried to keep blacks and other minorities down, so that there is always a perceived constant need for Dems/liberals to lift them up. I think people are starting to catch onto this finally and not falling for it, probably not in a number large enough to change this election, but the time is near where African Americans will no longer be able to be exploited by the left.

Just heartbreaking to me how this President has convinced about half the country that our country really is deplorable and the scum of the Earth. That type of thinking at the top does trickle down to everyone. Obama has been poisonous to this country, leading by dividing. Leading by dividing is so so so so cowardly in my opinion. It will take a long time for this country to heal from the Obama years, a long time.

You don't believe there's racial unrest in this country?

Every time a black person is shot there's an outcry. Even when they are resisting arrest and/or not complying with orders. And then you have things like Keith Scott, people run with the made up stories of "He was reading a book!!!" or Carnell Snell, "He didn't have a weapon. He had his hands up!!!", but when the truth comes out they become silent until the next criminal gets gunned downed acting a fool. For those who don't know Scott had a gun/ankle holster err... I mean book holder and there was video evidence showing "great kid" Carnell Snell with a gun in his hands.

There's zero accountability in the black community. That's why you see "Free (Insert Criminal Friend/Family Member's Name)" on t-shirts and Facebook statuses. They don't care what the person did, they just want them free. It's never their fault. You arrest someone and everyone goes "He didn't do nothing!!!" Instead of trying to fix the communities problems they stick up for whatever people in their community do. As a police officer, it's annoying to even write a parking ticket because people run inside to get their family member to argue it. "YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO?!? TAKE THAT BADGE OFF AND I'LL BEAT YOUR ASS!!!" How about getting your sh*t together instead of being mad that I caught your violation? I have to buy a city sticker/plate sticker, why should you get a pass? It's annoying to see statistics about how many black people police shoot. How about we look at WHY the person was shot? The media/BLM makes it seem like all shootings are bad. Let's stop focusing 100% on the officer and let's look at WHY that person got a lead shower. Going back to cases that got a lot of media coverage; Alton Sterling was resisting while reaching for a gun in his pocket. He deserved to die. That has 100% to do with actions and nothing to do with race. Philando Castile ....I refuse to believe 100% of what the girlfriend was saying is correct. Why is her word accepted as fact to the media and black community? Especially when we have seen time and time again that "eye witnesses" rarely tell the truth. For that one there's a chance the officer was wrong but I'm not going to make that judgement based on one persons account of the story. So that's why I think this kneeling trend is complete garbage.

tl;dr BLM is a joke.

I take my hat off to you and thank you and salute you for your service to the community. As a police officer, your job is not easy and has to be one of the most stressful jobs in existence. Your job would not be any easier if you were paid a ton of money, but you're not. I hate to think what the world would be like if you and your fellow policemen did not exist. Thank you for all you do to make our lives safer.

P.S. And you are correct.

My point was that other black Americans protested or were figures who dealt with racism and at the times they were hated or thought to be on the wrong side of the issue. Later they were thought of as very courageous and honored as great Americans.
Obviously, Kapernick isn't as famous as the other guys I mentioned, but he is a public figure. And I am under a different opinion than many others in that I think it takes courage to stand up for something that you believe in, especially when these issues he is protesting, probably aren't happening to him since he became an NFL player. He doesn't have much to gain personally. More people know him and more people hate him.

Then Kapernick should have protested against the few policemen who are bigots by standing outside a police station than giving his middle finger to all those that have served and died for this country.

Why not try and read some of the articles and reasons for his protests instead of just spouting the same stuff.

That's why you see "Free (Insert Criminal Friend/Family Member's Name)" on t-shirts and Facebook statuses. They don't care what the person did, they just want them free. It's never their fault. You arrest someone and everyone goes "He didn't do nothing!!!" Instead of trying to fix the communities problems they stick up for whatever people in their community do. As a police officer, it's annoying to even write a parking ticket because people run inside to get their family member to argue it. "YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO?!? TAKE THAT BADGE OFF AND I'LL BEAT YOUR ASS!!!" How about getting your sh*t together instead of being mad that I caught your violation? I have to buy a city sticker/plate sticker, why should you get a pass? It's annoying to see statistics about how many black people police shoot. How about we look at WHY the person was shot? The media/BLM makes it seem like all shootings are bad. Let's stop focusing 100% on the officer and let's look at WHY that person got a lead shower. Going back to cases that got a lot of media coverage; Alton Sterling was resisting while reaching for a gun in his pocket. He deserved to die. That has 100% to do with actions and nothing to do with race. Philando Castile ....I refuse to believe 100% of what the girlfriend was saying is correct. Why is her word accepted as fact to the media and black community? Especially when we have seen time and time again that "eye witnesses" rarely tell the truth. For that one there's a chance the officer was wrong but I'm not going to make that judgement based on one persons account of the story. So that's why I think this kneeling trend is complete garbage.

tl;dr BLM is a joke.

I take my hat off to you and thank you and salute you for your service to the community. As a police officer, your job is not easy and has to be one of the most stressful jobs in existence. Your job would not be any easier if you were paid a ton of money, but you're not. I hate to think what the world would be like if you and your fellow policemen did not exist. Thank you for all you do to make our lives safer.

P.S. And you are correct.

Thank you. Your kindness is much appreciated.
